SUMMARY:30th September at 2pm AHRN Seminar: Dr Carol Bond
DESCRIPTION:“Women in Hydrogen: Building an Inclusive Clean Energy Future” \nDr Carol Bond is a Senior Lecturer at RMIT University and a social scientist specialising in energy transitions. Through Future Fuels CRC\, she explored diversity\, equity\, and inclusion in hydrogen and pipeline sectors\, driving research that builds inclusive workforces\, community trust\, and equitable pathways in Australia’s emerging hydrogen economy. \nHydrogen offers Australia a unique opportunity to lead in clean energy while setting new standards for diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI). Drawing on her research with the Future Fuels CRC and Australian pipeline sector\, Dr Carol Bond explores how lessons learned from traditional energy industries can shape a more inclusive hydrogen workforce from the ground up. \nThis presentation highlights: \n\nThe current state of gender diversity in energy and pipeline sectors\nBarriers and opportunities for women in the emerging hydrogen economy\nProven DEI strategies that can be embedded early in hydrogen project planning\nPractical steps for organisations to attract\, retain\, and empower women in hydrogen careers

SUMMARY:Rapid Fuel Cell Testing and Development with Australia's First Open-Source Fuel Cell Stack  - Dr Michaeo Pereira\, Deakin University
DESCRIPTION:Hydrogen fuel cells will play an important role in transport and remote and back-up power industries to help Australia achieve its 2050 net-zero emissions target. Despite this important contribution\, a notable gap exists in Australia’s domestic capacity for design and manufacturing of hydrogen fuel cells. This presentation will detail our ongoing work to address this challenge\, focusing on the establishment of an Australian-first facility for fuel cell development. This facility aims to enable the prototyping\, assembly and testing of industry-relevant-scale fuel cell systems. A key part of this work is the development and implementation of Australia’s first open-source fuel cell stack\, which significantly accelerates our rapid testing and development methodologies. This open-source approach fosters collaborative research to enhance fuel cel lperformance and drives innovative solutions for fuel cell design and manufacturing\, ultimately optimizing these technologies for Australia’s unique requirements. Our big aim is that this work will enhance research translation and build sovereign capability in renewable energy technology production\, mitigating reliance on imports and reducing supply chain vulnerabilities. The work leverages the expertise and facilities at Deakin University’s Hycel Technology Hub\, Institute for Frontier Materials and School of Engineering.

SUMMARY:“Photons to molecules”  a discussion of photoelectrochemistry.
DESCRIPTION:Greg Metha uses light sources from lasers to synchrotrons\, across the entire electromagnetic spectrum\, investigating a range of molecular phenomena to discover new molecules and explore their properties.  He heads the Metal Cluster Laboratory\, which focuses on the exploration of the physical and chemical properties of sub-nanometre-sized metallic particles underpinned by advanced computational modelling\, the advancement of novel catalysts based on metal clusters\, and building novel apparatus and instrumentation\, including pioneering work developing photocatalytic reactors that operate under concentrated solar radiation. This work has led to the establishment of the company Sparc Hydrogen\, for which he continues as the lead researcher.

SUMMARY:AHRN Town Hall Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 24th June at 2pm AEST\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for this online open meeting for an update on the Hydrogen Industry in Australia and to hear our plans for the next half year \nThe revision of Australia’s National Hydrogen Strategy towards the end of 2024 provided more clarity on areas where Australia should focus its industry development. Aligning more emphasis on the development of green hydrogen projects with hard-to-abate sectors in the drive for decarbonisation is easy to justify. On the other hand\, has the cutback in funding for large-scale projects\, that we have seen in recent months\, meant that interest in hydrogen energy is declining\, or are we simply reassessing our priorities?  And what should researchers be working on as a priority for Australia?  Here is your chance to ask questions on the role of research for the hydrogen industry in Australia. \nSpeakers: \n\nDr Andrew Dicks\, CEO\, AHRN  – Hydrogen Research Collaboration in Australia\nDr Fiona Simon\, CEO\, Australian Hydrogen Council – Current status of the Australian Hydrogen Industry\n\nFacilitator: \n\nDr Patrick Hartley\, Leader Hydrogen Industry Mission\, CSIRO

SUMMARY:Public Safety Assurance in the Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Public safety assurance in the energy transition requires effective management of sociotechnical risk. This session\, based on the outputs of RP2.3-08\, introduces the SOTEC Framework – social\, organizational\, technical\, epistemic and cultural sources of risk to explain what sociotechnical risks are\, and how they might best be managed. \nPast technology transition failures such as Chernobyl\, Challenger\, Titan\, the pink bats insulation scheme and California’s energy policy have lessons for the energy transition that can be drawn out using SOTEC. \nSpeakers:  Prof Jan Hayes\, RMIT   Prof Sarah Maslen\, University of Canberra \nPanel:  Michael Malavazos\, South Australian Government and Craig Clarke\, APA Group \nThis event is being organised in association with the Future Fuels Cooperative Resarch Centre and is open to everyone.

SUMMARY:AUSTRALIAN HYDROGEN RESEARCH CONFERENCE (AHRC)
DESCRIPTION:Inaugural AHRC 2023 Highlights\nThe inaugural Australian Hydrogen Research Conference (AHRC) was a fantastic event that brought together 326 delegates from universities\, industry\, government and other stakeholders. Held at the Australian National University in Canberra\, the conference was opened by Jenny McAllister\, the Assistant Minister for Climate Change and Energy in the Albanese Labor Government\, after which we were inspired by a talk given by Dr Alan Finkel\, former Chief Scientist of Australia and architect of the National Hydrogen Strategy. His speech can be downloaded here. \nThe conference program was a mixture of plenary sessions and four parallel sessions over the three day event\, all of which illustrated both the breadth and depth of research being undertaken by participants in Australia and in other countries.  We were especially pleased to welcome the ExCo members of the International Energy Agency Hydrogen Technology Collaboration Program\, the DFAT delegation from ASEAN countries and other visitors from overseas. \nFeitz and the people at Geoscience Australia who facilitated  site visits the day before the conference.  These were greatly appreciated\, especially by our overseas visitors. \nSeveral people have remarked afterwards that this research conference had an amazing buzz from the opening reception right to the end.  There was a lot to take on board\, sessions were often filled to overcapacity (note for next time)\, but even so 219 of the delegates attended the dinner at the National Museum of Australia.  This was a great location for researchers to interact and explore future cooperation in a relaxing setting.  It was obvious to the organising committee that this was to be the first of many hydrogen research conferences \nCheckout the gallery of images from the AHRC 2023 here.  (link to gallery page   https://ahrc2023.com.au/home/newsandmedia/ (see notes) \nComing soon – the AHRC 2024 will be held in Perth between the 4th and 6th September 2024.
