A Deep Dive into Thermocyclic Ammonia Production Introduction Thermocyclic ammonia production represents an innovative approach in energy storage and transport, positioning ammonia as an efficient hydrogen carrier. This process envisions a cyclical system where ammonia is synthesized, transported, and later decomposed back into nitrogen and hydrogen, enabling it to function
Introduction As the global push for decarbonization intensifies, converting captured carbon into valuable resources has gained traction as an effective strategy for emissions reduction. The integration of green hydrogen in transforming carbon dioxide (CO₂) into synthetic fuels like methane and methanol is a promising development. This process involves the use
As the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter, China faces enormous pressure to decarbonize its economy while sustaining rapid economic growth. In its ambitious quest to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, hydrogen is emerging as a cornerstone of China's energy transition. However, the majority of China's
Hydrogen is emerging as a key energy carrier for a sustainable future, with significant potential to decarbonize several industrial sectors. Currently, hydrogen is primarily produced through fossil fuel-based methods, especially from natural gas, which contributes substantially to greenhouse gas emissions. Electrolysis, which uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and
Green hydrogen has emerged as a pivotal element in the transition to a sustainable energy future. Electrolyser technologies play a crucial role in producing green hydrogen by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. Different electrolyser technologies—Alkaline Electrolysers, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolysers, Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM)
Hydrogen is increasingly positioned as a cornerstone in the global transition toward decarbonization, particularly in achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century. Its versatility as a clean energy carrier, capable of decarbonizing sectors that are difficult to electrify, has prompted renewed interest in hydrogen production and demand. This technical write-up provides an
A fully funded PhD position (AUD 33K) is available in the School of Chemistry and Physics, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia starting in January 2025. The project focuses on the development of magnetocaloric materials for hydrogen liquefaction. This cutting-edge research aims to enhance the efficiency of hydrogen liquefaction processes,
Green hydrogen has garnered attention as a critical component in the global transition toward decarbonization, offering the potential to drastically reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across industries. While its environmental benefits, particularly in terms of cutting GHG emissions, are undeniable, a comprehensive assessment of green hydrogen's environmental impact
As the global transition to renewable energy accelerates, hydrogen is emerging as a critical player in the decarbonization of various industries. However, the effective transport of hydrogen remains a key challenge, particularly when moving it over long distances between regions or continents. Hydrogen carrier technologies provide solutions to this challenge
Renewable hydrogen production, driven by electrolysis using renewable energy sources, is gaining attention globally as a key technology for the transition to a low-carbon economy. For developing countries, the production and utilization of renewable hydrogen can offer a wide range of benefits that go beyond economic growth, encompassing social and
The Australian Hydrogen Strategy 2024 takes a community-first approach in addressing the critical aspects of hydrogen development, emphasizing the importance of engaging with local communities and ensuring they benefit from the hydrogen economy. The strategy particularly highlights the importance of First Nations engagement, responsible development, and long-term community benefits. This
Australia’s 2024 National Hydrogen Strategy outlines a comprehensive plan to position the country as a global leader in hydrogen production, both for domestic decarbonization and as a key export. The strategy capitalizes on Australia’s vast renewable energy potential and proximity to major hydrogen markets, such as Asia, while
