An integrated system for high-efficiency hydrogen assisted electricity generation from solar energy (2009)

Abstract:
This project aims to develop a proof of concept'''' integrated system for hydrogen assisted electricity production using solar energy. The project integrates three Australian proprietary technologies solar concentrator, photocatalytic hydrogen production, and hydrogen storage patented by the industry partner and ourselves. The project will lead to a technology for efficient hydrogen production, practical hydrogen storage and base-load electricity generation. The outcomes of this project will accelerate the realisation of the hydrogen economy and enhance the development of solar energy to achieve Australia's target of 20% renewable energy in 2020.'',
