The world energy demand, expected to triple by 2100, must be met from sustainable and non-polluting sources. Sunlight is the largest available carbon-neutral energy source, with enough energy striking the planet in one hour to satisfy our current requirements for about a year. With the novel catalysts designed in this project, we will use this energy to simultaneously generate hydrogen and destroy organic pollutants by oxidation. The hydrogen can then be used as a clean source of sustainable energy and the water recycled. Our climate, proximity to major economies of the future, and long commercial and research experience in solar energy make Australia an ideal location for a hydrogen production industry.

预计到2100年，世界能源需求将增加两倍，必须从可持续和无污染的来源中得到满足。阳光是最大的碳中性能源，一小时照射地球的能量足以满足我们目前一年左右的需求。利用本项目设计的新型催化剂，我们将利用这种能量同时产生氢气并通过氧化破坏有机污染物。氢气可以作为一种清洁的可持续能源，水可以循环使用。我们的气候，靠近未来的主要经济体，以及在太阳能方面的长期商业和研究经验，使澳大利亚成为氢气生产行业的理想地点。
