You’ve got the power!: keeping our electricity during a heatwave

Nearly every state has seen temperatures of 35 degrees or above over the past few weeks. How will our electricity grid cope with the pressures of increasingly extreme weather? How do we moderate our energy consumption if there’s a chance power supplies can’t cope with our needs?

How hydrogen power can help us cut emissions, boost exports, and even drive further between refills

Hydrogen has several advantages over other energy carriers, such as batteries. It is a single product that can service multiple markets and, if produced using low- or zero-emissions energy sources, it can help us significantly cut greenhouse emissions.

Australia can’t lose in the global race for cheaper, cleaner energy

Despite our sometimes heated national debate about our energy future, Australia is well positioned to benefit from innovative low emission technologies. No matter which avenue we take to cleaner energy, our energy-rich resources means there are opportunities for Australian businesses – and cheaper energy for Australian consumers. That’s the conclusion we reached in our Low Emissions...

Insane hydrogen membrane – extracting the fuel of the future

We have developed a metal membrane that could accelerate the roll-out hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and potentially develop a new export market for Australia.
