The Potential of Green Hydrogen for a Net-Zero Society

主講人 : Siva Karuturi 副教授

Solar energy has the greatest potential to replace fossil fuels among all carbon-free energy sources. Given that electricity only accounts for 30% of global energy consumption, breakthroughs in renewable energy storage and transportation are needed to accomplish the transition to renewable energy, along with the development of a supply chain for renewable energy exports. The chemical bonds present in chemical fuels provide one of the densest ways to store energy. For example, energy density of hydrogen fuel is 100 times higher than that of the best Li-ion battery. Hydrogen generated from solar-driven water splitting has the potential to provide clean, sustainable, abundant, and transportable energy.

In this talk, the speaker will first present on the potential of hydrogen to support our transition to a net-zero society. Following this, I will briefly introduce our research on hydrogen production aimed at reducing the cost and increasing the efficiency of electrocatalytic production systems.

In the second part of the talk, the speaker will introduce opportunities to study Master degrees in Engineering at the Australian National University and outline the entry requirements and credit that may be eligible for.
