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.

IEA Hydrogen TCP Annual Report for 2024
The AHRN is Australia's representative on the International Energy Agency Hydrogen Technology Collaboration Program (TCP). The 2024 Annual Report encompasses the entire program, including tasks in which Australian researchers are involved. The current status of hydrogen projects in Australia is also shared with IEA participants through this report which can be downloaded here.
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.
International Research Delegations and Fellowships
During 2022-24 the AHRN provided an opportunity for delegations for Australian researchers to learn more about hydrogen activities in other countries. In 2022, research delegations went to Germany, France, Japan, UK and the USA. During 2023-4, delegations visited Singapore, Republic of Korea, India. the Netherlands and China. These visits led to funding of 35 research fellows to partner with researchers overseas. Further detao;s of the delegations an dfellowshipas are available online here.
