Underground Hydrogen Storage Workshop Report
Australia is making progress towards becoming a renewable energy superpower, which not only enables the opportunity to decarbonise the economy, but also increases clean energy exports which will also contribute to regional and global decarbonisation efforts. However, most renewable energy sources are intermittent and not always available when needed. For example, the sun is not…

Development and testing of boil-off gas software package for LNG and LH2
This report is the deliverable for Milestones 1.3.1 and 2.2.1 of the FEnEx CRC’s Commonwealth Grant Agreement. The generation of boil‐off gas (BOG) is an unavoidable result of the cryogenic storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquid hydrogen (LH2) due to heat ingress into the storage tanks. Quantifying the amount of BOG that will…
