How Australia can use hydrogen to export its solar power around the world
by Bianca Nogrady from on (#2PZWK)
Recent innovations in hydrogen generation, storage, transport and use could transform it into the ultimate source of clean energy
Nearly a century ago, British scientist JB Haldane saw an energy future in which wind power would be used to generate hydrogen; a fuel he described as, weight-for-weight, the most efficient known method of storing energy.
He thought this future was four hundred years away, but the so-called "hydrogen economy" may arrive a lot sooner thanks to a recent burst of innovations in hydrogen generation, storage, transport and use. And it could open a new energy export market for Australia.
