Queensland University of Technology has taken part in the first export of ‘Green Hydrogen’ derived from water from Australia to Japan in a major step towards sustainable fuel innovation.
In the revolutionary trial, Japanese researchers from petroleum conglomerate JXTG used QUT's solar facilities operating at Redlands to extract hydrogen from water.
Professor Ian Mackinnon, from QUT’s Institute for Future Environments, says Queensland had an unparalleled opportunity to establish a viable and sustainable export economy for hydrogen as renewable energy.
