Title Mapping the way to renewable energy Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet Engineers Australia Media type Web Country/Territory Australia Date 26/06/23 Description The Australian Government is aiming to position our hydrogen industry as a major global player by 2030, with a world-first online tool supporting that goal being selected as a finalist for the Eureka Prize for Innovative Research in Sustainability.
Developed by a research team led by Dr Stuart Walsh of Monash University’s Department of Civil Engineering and Dr Marcus Haynes of Geoscience Australia, the Economic Fairways Mapper project is designed to support the responsible and sustainable development of renewable energy and critical mineral resources in Australia.
Its Hydrogen Economic Fairways Tool (HEFT) maps factors including: the economic viability of hydrogen projects in Australia using diverse datasets such as geological profiles, the cost of building a hydrogen plant, the availability and cost of energy and water sources, where and how to conduct the associated carbon capture and storage, transport methods, and the current market value of the resource.Producer/Author Jen Walker URL https://createdigital.org.au/mapping-the-way-to-renewable-energy/ Persons Stuart Walsh
