IEA Hydrogen TCP
AHRN Funding for Task experts to attend IEA Hydrogen TCP Task Meetings
We are pleased to confirm that funds are available to support Australian hydrogen researchers to take part in activities of the IEA Hydrogen Technology Collaboration Program (TCP). For the past 5 years Task Experts from Australia have been supported by a grant from ARENA to attend those Task meetings on which Australia has expert representation. As of 2024, funds to attend the expert meetings are being made available with a grant from DCCEW via the AHRN. At the present time Australia is represented on Task 40: Energy storage and conversion based on hydrogen (Australian experts: Professor Craig Buckley and Dr. Jim Webb). Other tasks that may be of interest to Australian researchers are:
- Task 50: Cost and Carbon Intensity Analysis and Model Comparison of Hydrogen Supply Chains
- Task 49: Natural Hydrogen
- Task 48: Future Demand of Hydrogen in Industry
- Task 47: Hydrogen Certification
- Task 46: Offshore Hydrogen Production
- Task 45: Renewable Hydrogen Production
- Task 44: Hydrogen from Nuclear Energy
- Task 43: Safety and RCS of Large Scale Hydrogen Energy Applications
- Task 42: Underground Hydrogen Storage
- Task 40: Energy Storage and Conversion based on hydrogen
Travel funding is available for IEA Hydrogen TCP Task experts from Australian institutions to attend Task meetings.
The funding will cover up to 50 % of the total travel costs. Eligible expenditure includes airfares, accommodation, meals and local transport. The other 50 % is expected to be covered from other sources.
Eligibility
A Task expert is defined as someone who has been officially approved by both the Australian Executive Committee Member on the IEA Hydrogen TCP and the Task Operating Agent.
How to apply
Applicants should download the 1-page travel funding proposal template where they will be requested to provide a draft itinerary and budget along with a short summary of how the trip will support their contribution to the Task and how this will benefit Australian research. All proposals must be submitted a MINIMUM of 4 weeks prior to the date of the Task meeting.
The AHRN approval committee will then review the request and provide feedback.
On completion of approved travel, applicants should submit a brief trip report (max 500 words) including a summary of the key outcomes from the trip and describing how they intend to disseminate this information within the Australian hydrogen community. All travel receipts should be attached to the report for a 50% reimbursement.
