15 May Renew Economy, Scientists edge closer to stable, cheap green hydrogen production. Scientists from Victoria’s Monash University claim to have made a breakthrough that will bring the inexpensive industrial production of green hydrogen from Australia’s abundant renewable energy generation resources much closer to reality. The research, which has been described as “critically important” to Australia’s shift to renewables, identifies a variation on water splitting technology, or water electrolysis, that would give it “unparalleled stability,” without blowing out costs. As we have reported on RenewEconomy, renewable or “green hydrogen” is increasingly being seen as a vital ingredient to Australia’s shift to low-carbon energy generation – not to mention low-carbon transport. But the technology, so far, remains economically and logistically out of reach. Read more here
