An Australian Scientific Roadmap for the Hydrogen Economy

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

There is growing concern about the cost of the energy supply and the long-term environmental implications of CO2 emissions. In an ideal world, solar energy would be converted into electricity to create clean hydrogen by electrolysis. The resulting hydrogen would be converted into fuel cells for transport or stationary energy supplies. The scientific challenges to realise this vision of abundant clean energy are formidable. This project plans, through an international Symposium and a workshop of local experts, to bring together researchers, industry and policy makers to identify gaps in knowledge, in an Australian context, that must be addressed to achieve a hydrogen economy. The report, An Australian Scientific Roadmap to the Hydrogen Economy, will be subjected to expert and critical review before release and will accurately reflect the scientific and technical issues that need to be addressed to achieve a hydrogen economy.
