Hydrogen Economy

Hydrogen has the potential to provide the missing link between renewable energy - such as wind and solar power - and industrial energy users that are yet to find a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Additionally, zero-carbon hydrogen could be a key energy vector, allowing energy to be stored and transported around the world. Australia, a second largest exporter of LNG in 2019, is set to become a pioneer in hydrogen export market with its established supply networks to countries such as Korea, Japan and China. As the hydrogen industry is gradually emerging into the markets, it is anticipated that trained graduates will be increasingly sought after to work as professional engineers, scientists, policy developers and analysts in industries, consulting companies, universities and government organisations, both in Australia and abroad. This course fulfils the need by supporting undergraduate students by equipping them with the basic scientific principles and multi-disciplinary skills needed to effectively participate in this rapidly emerging opportunity.
