HydGene joined industry leaders at a TRaCE event in Sydney, digging into the essential role of hydrogen in advancing Australia’s net-zero ambitions. Held at Greenhouse in Sydney on 30th October, the event brought together industry experts, academics, and innovators to explore the evolving landscape of green fuels and hydrogen's unique ability to decarbonise key sectors like chemical manufacturing — a critical step for building a sustainable economy.
Our CEO, Louise Brown, shared her perspective on why hydrogen is indispensable for reaching global net-zero targets. For sectors like chemical manufacturing, particularly in producing ammonia and methanol (vital for fertilisers and other products), hydrogen isn’t just an option; it’s a necessity. Louise emphasised the need to focus on practical, user-centered applications that make the most of hydrogen's unique properties to help decarbonise industries reliant on these chemicals. "There’s no path to net zero without hydrogen," Louise noted, underscoring the importance of technologies that can scale today and seamlessly integrate into existing chemical manufacturing industries but also working to support the green fuels we need to decarbonise aviation, with hydrogen essential for all pathways for manufacturing of sustainable aviation fuels.
The event also featured insights from other local hydrogen experts, supported by the TRaCE program including Jason Scott, Goran Bozic, Chris Sorrell, and Dr. Rahman Daiyan. The panel highlighted how hydrogen production, adapted to specific contexts, can reduce costs and make green fuels viable alternatives to fossil fuels. A key takeaway from the discussion was the importance of a diversified approach to hydrogen production, with multiple pathways working together to meet global energy needs rather than a "winner-takes-all" approach.
With support of the TRaCE program, HydGene have partnered with the University of Newcastle to explore on-site fertiliser production – to learn more – follows this link: https://www.hydgene.com/post/hydgene-partners-with-university-of-newcastle-for-sustainable-fertiliser-production
