Home - Australian Hydrogen Researcher Network

Welcome to the home of the AHRN, the Australian Hydrogen Research Network. The organisation was established in 2021 and incorporated as a non-profit public company in 2023. The AHRN is the community of researchers and interested stakeholders supporting the emerging hydrogen industry in Australia. We foster excellence in hydrogen-related research through an ongoing program of seminars and knowledge-sharing activities. By providing thought leadership, advocacy, and research tools, the AHRN offers its members domestic networking opportunities as well as access to international collaborations.

AHRC2024 Outcome report

The second Australian Hydrogen Research Conference (AHRC2024) was held from 4th to 6th September 2024 in Perth, Western Australia. A short report on the conference can be downloaded here: AHRC2024report.

Open PhD position: Development of Efficient Magnetocaloric Materials for Hydrogen Liquefaction

A fully funded PhD position (AUD 34K) is available in the School of Chemistry and Physics, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia starting in January 2025. The project focuses on the development of magnetocaloric materials for hydrogen liquefaction. This cutting-edge research aims to enhance the efficiency of hydrogen liquefaction processes, a crucial step in the future of clean energy. More information is available here.

International Research Fellowships

The International Hydrogen Research Fellowship Program supports research in areas of critical national importance, by providing the opportunity for early to mid-career researchers in Australia to partner with researchers overseas.

All fellowship spaces are now filled for the Program reaching our target of 35 fellows doing research in world class labs overseas.

International Research Delegations

The International Collaboration for Hydrogen Research led delegations for Australia's researchers to learn more about hydrogen activities in other countries. In 2022, research delegations went to Germany, France, Japan, UK and the USA. During 2023, delegations visited Singapore, Republic of Korea and India. Further delegations are being planned later in 2024. Read more about these delegations.
