While Australia stands an excellent chance of becoming a global leader in the upcoming hydrogen energy economy, the unfortunate fact remains that most hydrogen is still sourced from fossil fuels.
In this exciting project, you’ll design the technology and infrastructure to efficiently source hydrogen from renewable food waste streams.
Throughout this project we will conduct research, solve engineering issues and develop design strategies to sustainably source hydrogen gas from food waste. This will be broken down into:
Food waste stream analysis and pre-treatment
We will provide chemical analysis on the various waste streams fuelling our electrolysers, including:
Food waste electrolysis
We will design, synthesise, and characterise catalysts for specific molecules susceptible to electrochemical oxidation, including:
Business Case
We will engage with prospective partners to determine their needs, annual waste output and eventual use of hydrogen
All degrees are welcome however, students specialising in the below areas are encouraged to apply.
