Australian researchers claim ‘giant leap’ in technology to produce affordable renewable hydrogen

Summary

This article by Peter Hannam, writing for The Guardian, makes the following points:

• Hysata, Using technology developed at the University of Wollongong, has patented capillary-fed electrolysis cells that are 25% more efficient than existing processes, at splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.
• This process could help the Morrison government's objective of producing hydrogen at $2 a kilogram.
• At $2 a kilogram, hydrogen becomes competitive with oil and gas.
• The Government's national hydrogen strategy predicts that an efficient means of extracting hydrogen from water could generate an additional $11B per anum to GDP by 2050.
