Testing Facilities for Clean Energy Transformation Tehnologies

Grant number: LE120100141 | Funding period: 2012 - 2013

Completed

Abstract

As the world approaches peak oil production, the use of gasification to convert solid fuels to hydrogen and liquid fuels provides a low carbon footprint approach to the cleaner transformation of energy. This testing facility for clean energy transformation technologies will enhance the competitiveness of Australian science and engineering, contributing to the development of new technologies.
