Australia has great potential to lead the way globally in providing cheap, clean and green hydrogen. Image credit: Joseph Brent, Flickr - A 20-year investment worth $1.5 million will help boost Australia's hydrogen economy, powering new research on this form of renewable energy storage at The Australian National University (ANU). The $75,000 in annual funding from Global Power Generation Australia (GPGA) will go to the ANU Energy Change Institute to conduct research on the hydrogen economy over the next two decades. The GPGA funding will support a $25,000 scholarship for a master's student to undertake research on hydrogen each year. Another $50,000 will support research and education on the hydrogen economy annually. Director of the ANU Energy Change Institute Professor Ken Baldwin thanked GPGA for the important funding. "Hydrogen has the potential to be the 'missing link' between renewable energy, like solar and wind, and industries that have yet to find a viable alternative to fossil fuels," Professor Baldwin said.
