We’re as Strong as the Weakest Link: Building Scale through Value Chain Collaboration
Lack of coordination & certainty across the value chain presents a major problem for the growing industry. By bringing industry & research partners together to collaborate, the Scaling Green Hydrogen CRC seeks to overcome this problem and establish momentum in five key areas.
Presentation
Is the industry rushing towards a safety fallout?
The new energy revolution driven by carbon emissions reduction goals is bringing many new challenges, new technology, and application of proven technology in new ways and to expanded scales. There seems to be a race taking place towards low prices that would make large scale export offtake agreements economically viable in comparison to current energy sources. There are also ambitious emission reduction targets set by our politicians, coupled with apparent haste in the industry to abate what is termed the “climate emergency”. To seasoned safety engineering practitioners, these are warning signs that are precursors to potential major accidents. This presentation…

Demonstration Project for a Green Chemical Plant using Large-scale Alkaline Water Electrolysis
To achieve the carbon neutrality target set to be accomplished by 2050, hydrogen will play an important role in many sectors such as power, transportation, and industrial applications. Especially in the chemicals and fertilizers sectors, green ammonia, made by utilizing renewable energy as a feed stock, is expected to be materialized, and is also being considered as a hydrogen carrier with the advantage of easier transportation and handling than the hydrogen itself. Hence, in the near future, green chemical production facilities which are fed with hydrogen produced through the use of renewable energy will be installed instead of the conventional…

Hysata - technology and company overview
Hysata is an Australian electrolyser company which is developing a completely new type of electrolyser, featuring the world’s most efficient electrolysis cell coupled with a simplified balance of plant. Electricity makes up most of the cost of green hydrogen and therefore, the most efficient electrolyser will deliver the lowest cost hydrogen. The Hysata founding team comprises electrolyser industry veterans, with deep expertise in the design and scale-up of novel electrolysers. Building on that foundation we are growing a world-class engineering, manufacturing, and commercial team with a footprint on multiple continents. Backed by leading global investors, Hysata is moving rapidly towards…

Green ammonia for Europe, Australian opportunity
The war in the Ukraine has had resounding impacts across the globe, displacing millions of people and facing Europe into an uncertain energy future. Germany is leading Europe’s efforts to understand if green hydrogen and ammonia can replace some of the existing fuel sources and provide the imports necessary for Germany to meet their Net Zero targets. Australia is seen as a key values based partners and potential source of abundant green ammonia.

Overview of NSW Hydrogen Strategy
The $3 billion NSW Hydrogen Strategy sets out the NSW Government’s plan to support commercialisation of green hydrogen supply chains in NSW. Michael Probert, Principal Policy Officer Hydrogen and Clean Energy, will provide an overview and status update on the major actions from the Strategy, including Australia’s first and only legislated green hydrogen target and certificate scheme. The presentation will also cover the Strategy’s network charge exemptions and the ammonia market study being commissioned by the NSW Government.

The Next 12 Months: Generating demand for green hydrogen and ammonia
Critical to the development of the green ammonia industry within Australia will be the development of the green hydrogen (GH2) industry. The two come hand-in-hand. The more end uses for GH2 – covering multiple applications and capable of downstream conversion to other energy carriers (such as ammonia) and products – the more the demand side of the GH2 market will grow, providing flexibility as to the ways to achieve decarbonisation. This will also help generate larger economies of scale and faster deployment, leading to a virtuous cycle of increasing demand encouraging increased supply, improving efficiencies and economies of scale which…

Global emissions implications from co-combusting ammonia in coal fired power stations: An analysis of the Japan-Australia supply chain
This study considers the emissions implications of co-combusting imported ammonia in coal-fired power stations. The study adopts a supply chain approach, estimating the emissions reduction potential of 20% ammonia co-combustion in coal-fired power stations in the country of use (Japan), and the emissions associated with ammonia production in the country of origin (Australia). The results show co-combustion of ammonia produced with SMR-HB provides no net benefit for the combined country emissions, as ammonia production related greenhouse emissions in Australia are equivalent to the emission reductions in Japan. In contrast, co-firing ammonia produced from fully renewable sources reduces emissions in the…

Nitrogen Reduction Reaction at High Current-to-Ammonia Efficiency
Apart from its use in the fertiliser and chemical industries, ammonia is currently attracting our community as a potential carbon-neutral fuel and as an energy carrier for worldwide transportation of renewable sources. To achieve this goal, replacements of the conventional hydrocarbon deposit-based technology for NH3 production require to be a green but inexpensive and scale-flexible technology, namely the only genuine electrochemical lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction reaction (Li-NRR). Reported by many research groups around the world, the process had so far been hampered by poor yield rates and efficiencies. At Monash University, we introduced a compact ionic assembly arranged in the electrode-electrolyte…

MAN Energy Solutions 2 stroke Ammonia engine
The marine industry is convinced that Ammonia is not only a very strong candidate as a future fuel, but also that Ammonia will be one of the leading future fuels. MAN Energy solutions has worked since 2019 on the development of a two stroke engine burning Ammonia by using the Diesel principle (as used for other fuels such as Methane , Methanol, Ethane and LPG) In this presentation, we will give an update on the engine design, which we will start testing in Copenhagen in Oct. 2022. The first ammonia engine (with final engine design and combustion process) is scheduled…

Ammonia for Green Shipping Corridors
Decarbonization of shipping (responsible for 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions) is a complex task due to the scale and complexity of the industry. However, it will not be possible to scale from day one and we need to start somewhere, and this is where Green shipping corridors play and important role. Yara, as the world’s largest ammonia distributor today, is partnering with several players to make this happen. In Scandinavia we have partnered with several players to build a network of ammonia bunkering barges and this summer we also signed a Collaboration Agreement with Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA)…
