Hydrogen capability
Hydrogen Storage
Hydrogen Technology and Materials
Hydrogen is known to affect the properties and service life of critical and valuable infrastructure, for example gas transmission and storage systems. Our team exhibits expertise in risk mitigation related to infrastructure deterioration due to corrosion, as well as corrosion mitigation technologies. We have the proven capability to conduct combined studies in real world and controlled laboratory settings to predict service life risk behaviour and test and improve mitigation strategies for infrastructure subject to hydrogen corrosion and embrittlement.

Direct Electrochemical Ammonia Production from Air and Water
This project investigated the ability to scale and implement next generation ammonia production directly from air and water, using electrochemical technology. The project included modelling and process design of a novel green ammonia process including key outcomes (power to ammonia value) for increased understanding of how new technology can be deployed in practice.
