Good discussion today at the HILT CRC webinar on green electricity supply for heavy industry.
Our research shows that industrial decarbonisation requires coordinated planning of renewable energy, storage, and operational flexibility to deliver low-cost and reliable green electricity.
Thanks to HILT CRC for supporting collaboration between researchers and industry to address real-world industrial challenges.
Delighted to speak today on industrial hydrogen storage at the Australian Hydrogen Research Conference in Melbourne.
In future green energy industries, hydrogen can be a chemical feedstock, a source of high-temperature heat, and a final energy carrier.
Industrial hydrogen storage creates a strong link between electricity grids and emerging green industries, enabling effective sector coupling.
Happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating! 🐎
Spoke at the Asia-Pacific Solar Research Conference on our recent work “Ultra-low-cost solar for economy-wide decarbonisation”.
Our key finding: Australia could unlock a 2000-gigawatt solar opportunity by decarbonising domestic industries and turning mineral exports into clean, value-added industries.
