The second round of Hydrogen Headstart is now open for expressions of interest, with up to $2 billion in funding to support the development of large-scale renewable hydrogen projects across Australia. ARENA’s Hydrogen Headstart program aims to unlock innovation and new supply chains critical to the global energy transition. Building on lessons from the first round, Round 2 has a renewed focus on high priority use cases and projects that can drive down the cost of renewable hydrogen production in the long-term. ‘Getting renewable hydrogen to commercial scale will take time, innovation and ongoing support. ARENA is aiming to bridge the gap between ambition and reality,’ says ARENA CEO Darren Miller. ‘By backing industry first-movers, ARENA is providing the certainty to invest, innovate and develop the next wave of projects and learnings.’ Learn more about the program guidelines and get started on your EOI: https://lnkd.in/g6aBuZtM Share this post to spread the word.

UOW has received a $650,000 grant from the NSW Government to lead critical research into hydrogen pipeline safety. UOW is the only institution in Australia, and one of just five globally, with the capability to conduct this type of testing and the research has the potential to transform safe hydrogen transportation around the world. “This project sits at the intersection of our Industry Policy and Innovation Blueprint, reflecting the importance of investing in scientific research to help solve the challenges shaping the future of some of our biggest industries," said Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology Anoulack Chanthivong. “The University of Wollongong has produced nation-leading and globally recognised work on hydrogen in the past and the NSW Government is excited to see UOW, in partnership with industry, pave the way for a more sustainable and innovative future.” To be delivered over two years, the research will zero-in on the leading cause of hydrogen pipeline failures and develop risk assessment and design tools to address them. #UOWResearch
