Sustainable Hydrogen Production from Used Water (2022–2025)
Abstract:
The project aims to address the pressing challenge of water scarcity in hydrogen production by developing an
innovative approach of using used water as the feed for water electrolysis. The project will result in an in-depth
understanding of the impacts of water impurities in used water on the performance and durability of water
electrolysers, and develop guidelines for the design of highly durable water electrolysers and the operation and
upgrade of existing wastewater treatment plants. The project will advance the practical applications of water
electrolysis for scalable and sustainable hydrogen production and help Australia secure a leading position in the
global emerging hydrogen economy.
