    Hydrogen Supply

    As hydrogen is an integral part of the transition to clean energy, the reliable supply of hydrogen at scale required to support this transition is critical. The hydrogen supply chain should address not only the scale issues, but also should be sustainable (with low carbon footprint) and commercially affordable. This session will address the topics related to ensuring the hydrogen supply for clean energy transition.

    Potential topics include:
    • Biological hydrogen production
    • Biomass and waste conversion
    • Direct hydrogen carrier production

    Theme: Cross-Cutting Areas

    Emerging of hydrogen industry also results in several questions to be addressed to support this industry. Understanding the environmental impact of large-scale hydrogen production and transport, as well as ensuring that this new industry will have a social acceptance is very important for the deployment of hydrogen-base technologies. The appropriate policies and regulations, as well as safety standards and certification processes will ensure the smooth transition. It also requires good understanding of the socio-technical risks and techno-economic evaluation of various options.

    Potential topics include:
    • Environmental impacts
    • Safety and standards
    • Public acceptance
    • Socio-technical risks

    Theme: Hydrogen Utilization

    A feature of the emergence of hydrogen energy systems is the diversity of potential application pathways and industrial sectors. Commonly described as ‘Power-to-X’, there are also opportunities for industrial sectors not traditionally associated with hydrogen to play a role in production (such as the waste sector) or utilization for decarbonization (such as agriculture). This session will explore the different ways that various industry sectors can come together to both support ‘hydrogen at scale’ as well as decarbonization of industries such as metals production.

    Potential topics include:
    • Electricity - grid balancing & stability, grid integration, stationary fuel cells, distributed power generation, engines & turbines
    • Export potential - shipping technology development, loading/offloading, infrastructure optimisation from production site to port loading site
    • Gas networks and appliances - appliance testing, metering, hydrogen gas separation
    • Heat storage - covers thermal batteries based on metal hydrides
    • Industrial heat processes - steel, cement, metals refining, etc.
    • Industrial feedstock processes - ammonia, synthetic fuels, and methanol production
    • Mobility - mobile fuel cells; onboard storage; refuelling stations; bunkering: land, sea, air mobility forms; vehicle/engine improvements

    CSIRO QCAT, Pullenvale, Queensland

    The Queensland Centre for Advanced Technologies is a collaboration between the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the State Government of Queensland. The establishment of the Centre flows from an agreement between the Australian and Queensland Governments in 1990 to expand and diversify the research and development activities undertaken by CSIRO in Queensland. The Centre commenced operation in 1992 and was officially opened in 1993. Following the construction of new facilities, Stage Two was opened in 2000.

    QCAT is a world class research and development precinct recognised for the excellence of its contribution to the mining, energy and manufacturing industries. Our mission is to generate products and processes of high value to Australia’s mineral, energy resources, and manufacturing industries with particular focus on those resources and industries located in Queensland. Today, QCAT is home to over 400 researchers.
