Techno-economic and environmental assessment of LNG export for hydrogen production
A critical requirement of a widely contemplated hydrogen economy is the development of a low carbon hydrogen supply chain that is cost competitive. This comprehensive techno-economic assessment demonstrates, for the first time, the viability of a complete hydrogen supply chain based on the transport of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Highlights – Comprehensive techno-economic assessment of…

Project Announcement: Simulation and testing of cryogenic ortho-para conversion in hydrogen liquefaction processes
Hydrogen liquefaction is a highly energy intensive process. Therefore, efficient hydrogen liquefaction processes are a priority for establishing future energy markets. When compared with established energy commodities, such as LNG, there are significant gaps in knowledge related to the properties of hydrogen relevant to the liquefaction process, which in turn introduces relatively large uncertainty in…

Net Zero Australia Project: Detailed “how to” scenarios for lower emissions
Reaching Net Zero by 2050 is a goal most governments and organisations have now adopted. The next challenge is to answer the question of exactly how to do so, given the competing constraints and requirements societies like Australia must balance. Significant progress answering this question has now been made with the interim results released today…
