Monash University researchers, together with national water utility companies, are looking at ways to produce hydrogen energy more sustainably through repurposing wastewater.
Hydrogen production is a clean energy source that can be used in a number of ways, either as fuel for transport or heating, a way to store electricity, or as a raw material in industrial processes.
However, the production of hydrogen requires abundant renewable energy and consistent water supply to produce scalable and sustainable energy for commercial use. As a result, at least 5.5 billion litres of water is needed annually to achieve the hydrogen production target proposed in Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy for the estimated 2030 export market, which is equivalent to the annual water consumption of 1.6 million people.
