Hydrogen is a clean and non-polluting fuel that is the natural and sustainable replacement for greenhouse gas emitting fossil fuels. Because of its abundant sunlight and vast titanium reserves (the world's largest) Australia is especially well-placed to develop the technology of producing hydrogen directly from water and sunlight using a titanium dioxide photo-anode. This research, which consists of computational and experimental parts, is focused on laying the scientific foundation for that technology to be commercially viable. The national and community benefits are the availability of an inexpensive, limitless and clean fuel, reduction in reliance on energy imports, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and resultant global warming.

氢气是一种清洁无污染的燃料，是排放温室气体的化石燃料的天然和可持续替代品。由于其丰富的阳光和巨大的钛储量（世界上最大的），澳大利亚特别适合开发使用二氧化钛光阳极直接从水和阳光中生产氢的技术。这项研究由计算和实验部分组成，重点是为该技术的商业可行性奠定科学基础。国家和社区的利益是获得廉价、无限量和清洁的燃料，减少对能源进口的依赖，减少温室气体排放和由此产生的全球变暖。
