The University of Adelaide has secured significant funding for a groundbreaking hydrogen production project, as part of a $1.1 million award from Australia’s Economic Accelerator (AEA).
This federal program aims to facilitate the commercialization of university research, thereby benefitting various Australian industries.
The university is among 11 academic institutions to share in a collective $4.9 million grant awarded by the AEA. A total of 21 projects received funding, highlighting the program’s commitment to fostering a healthier and more sustainable world.
One of the standout projects from the University of Adelaide is led by Professor Greg Metha from the School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences. The project, awarded $470,511, aims to further develop a thermo-photocatalytic water-splitting reactor for hydrogen production. Already proven at a lab scale, the reactor presents a cost-competitive, low-carbon alternative to fossil-fuel-derived hydrogen when fully developed.
