Australians could soon have early access to the $11 billion hydrogen economy with a game-changing prototype in development from the Swinburne University of Technology and Joenbuk National University in Korea.
Supported by the Victorian Government’s International Education Short-Term Recovery Plan, the project has received a grant to develop a prototype of a solar powered generator which would turn seawater to hydrogen.
The ‘All-in-One’ solar-powered seawater-to-hydrogen generator aims to produce 10,000 litres of hydrogen from a 100-square-meter prototype per day – enough to drive a heavy truck for 100km at a cost of less than $3/kg.
Working together, the universities will combine their expertise to fast-track commercial opportunities and access world-leading industry partners.
Swinburne University is a Victorian hydrogen innovation hub, focusing on technology translatability.
Jeonbuk National University is a world-leader in renewable hydrogen generation and technology translation which has been commercialised by leading industry names including Hyundai.
