A new PhD scholarship is now available to work at the newly established ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centre for the Global Hydrogen Economy (GlobH2E)
International climate targets necessitate immediate reductions in emissions. Hydrogen is expected to play a critical role in the decarbonization of transportation and heavy emitting industries such as steel, cement, and paper. However, there are numerous hydrogen value chains, technologies, and associated life cycles, ranging from production to storage to use and disposal. To ensure that problem shifting does not occur in the future, alternative hydrogen value chains and their environmental impact reduction potential in various heavy emitting industries must be evaluated technologically and environmentally.
As a result, the project’s goal is to investigate the environmental impact and potential reduction potential of various hydrogen value chains, as well as their life cycle technology options from a system of system perspective.
