CSIRO Hydrogen strategy

HydrogenIndustry Mission - CSIRO

Proposedfocus

Hydrogen research,development and demonstration projects

The Hydrogen Industry Mission will focus on hydrogenresearch, development and demonstration projects such as:

· Hydrogen KnowledgeCentre.A national resource for industry, government and the research community whichhighlights Australia's hydrogen projects and provides modelling tools andeducational resources.

· Feasibility studies and strategy. Delivering trustedindependent strategic and technical analysis and advice to de-risk projects inpartnership with industry experts and project proponents.

· Demonstration projects. Collaborativepartnerships that validate hydrogen value chains and de-risk enablingtechnologies to inform investment and deployment decisions.

· Enabling science and technology. Delivering science andtechnology solutions and socio-economic analysis to remove barriers to hydrogenindustry scale-up.

Plan

Initial milestones

Year 1 - Establish a Hydrogen Knowledge Centre with industry, government and research community partners.

Year 3 - Showcase a hydrogen technology demonstrationfacility including a hydrogen refueller on a CSIRO site to demonstrate hydrogen production technologies.

Year 5 - Demonstration of a remotearea power system by a CSIRO-led consortium to support regional energy transition. CSIRO hydrogen production technology deployed commercially
