Energy

Please join our IdeaSpies Community for a vibrant online discussion of the role of hydrogen in decarbonising our economy on Friday 18 November 10am-11am.

This is the first in our New Topic Series with the aim of bringing our IdeaSpies Community together and to help support and grow your connections within the IdeaSpies Community.

Our IdeaSpies Energy Editor, Kylie Hargreaves, will lead the discussion and offer her view in the first 15 minutes.

Then, the discussion will hand over to you all for the next 30 minutes to ask questions and offer your views. The last 15 minutes is a great opportunity for you to connect and engage with the IdeaSpies Community.

Tiny sized Concentrated Solar Power (CSP)

Concentrated solar power (CSP) traditionally uses large arrays of mirrors to direct sunlight onto a tall central receiver tower, which then creates heat that is stored in various liquids for use when the sun is not shining to generate electricity. CSP offers storage that traditional solar (PV) systems do not, however they have been historically big and expensive. An Australian company has developed a smaller, cheaper CSP and PV combination, with a 70% efficiency rate (on par with pumped hydro). The pilot project is currently operating in Carwarp, Victoria, Australia. https://reneweconomy.com.au/the-australian-solar-tech-that-may-have-found-a-low-cost-solution-to-deep-storage/

Green H2 production using both heat & electricity

Industrial processes typically produce a lot of heat. This heat can be captured and re-used to reduce overall energy consumption with readily available technology such as heat pumps. However, industrial heat has not typically played a part in green hydrogen production. A new process to be trialled at BlueScope's Port Kembla Steelworks will seek to prove a new tubular solid oxide electrolysis (SOE) technology from CSIRO can reduce electricity demand by 30% compared to conventional green hydrogen production processes. https://www.csiro.au/en/news/All/News/2023/August/Hadean
