Description
Description | The Solar Thermochemical Hydrogen Research and Development project will demonstrate Australia’s first solar thermal beam down system, concentrating solar energy from a heliostat field in order to heat a fluidised bed on the ground to 1300 °C.Water added to this bed will be split into hydrogen and oxygen using a two-step chemical process. Additional research will examine the conversion of the produced hydrogen into methanol that can be used as a hydrogen carrier to export markets such as Japan, an existing customer of Australian energy.How the project worksThe Solar Thermochemical Hydrogen Research and Development project builds on over 20 years of work at the CSIRO in large scale solar thermal concentration technology, and for first time a secondary concentrator will be implemented to reflect and focus the solar rays to a fluidised bed on the ground. The fluidised bed for the project is being developed with Niigata University from Japan, a leader in water splitting catalysts. Quantifying the feasibility of a supply chain for the solar hydrogen to be exported will be undertaken by the Institute of Applied Energy. |
