The Australian Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Science/Technologies Education Program:

Queensland Cluster - History made !
"A technology led approach towards future sustainability should be complemented by the "push" of carbon trading systems"-sz05
OBJECTIVES: Fuel Cell Institute of Australia Pty Limited (est. by Stephen Zorbas-M.D. Sep. 2003) is the first dedicated organisation focusing on fuel cells science and technology within Australia. Whilst there are well over five thousand (5000) fuel cells patented in the world today, Australia needs to determine its position on fuel cells. It by example will take considerable time ,resources and effort to fully develop fuel cells technology in Australia. It could quite easily however focus on important fuel cell technology components, like catalytic materials without platinum, new electrolytic high temperature membranes, or overall more fuel cell efficient systems.International leveraged funding can as well play an important role in industrial development. Enabling technologies must be analysed, for hydrogen storage by example is a critical enabling technology.Australia over time will develop its own large fuel cell industries. The two(2) main objectives of the institute are education for hydrogen and fuel cell science and technologies, and the appropriate industrial development of fuel cell and enabling technologies. Year 2007 will see many new initiatives by the FCIA so stay tuned.

As at the 19.11.04 the FCIA has in the last five(5) months progressed a national hydrogen and fuel cell science/technology education program(High schools).The program comprises a three(3) report series issued to all states and many libraries in The Greater West of Sydney.A pilot program [stage II] will commence with Fairvale High School in early year 2005.
The FCIA is promoting local business opportunities for hydrogen an fuel cell technologies in The Greater West of Sydney, NSW and Australia.
FCIA to expand H2 & Fuel Cell Science/Engineering education pilot program to include Primary Schools. The program will as well cover global warming and the consequences of such, sustainability, social and economic consequences of climate change, carbon sequestration, and the local and global influences of such. Teaching techniques to be role playing, lab experiments and problem solving (Oct 04).The expansion will include workshops for training teachers , and resources for trained teachers to use in teaching their students. Added resources will be via a website where questions can be asked, and the results closely monitored.
FCIA is examining ways of expanding both pilot programs across NSW(Oct 04).
FCIA will offer its assistance to disseminate the Australian fuel cell MEA R&D program, by the Australian National University (ANU) & Queensland University(QU).Jointly the Unis were recently awarded an ARC grant for such at~AUD$1m,to develop Australia's own fuel cell MEA over the next three(3) years.
FCIA communicated with the NSW Premier for a year 2006/7 Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Summit;The proposal has been issued and a reply is due soon.
FCIA is to support by request hydrogen car project of South Australia.
Hydrogen fuel cell transport demonstration proposal has been put forward for The Commonwealth Games(06)
Education continues to expand as of 20.06.05 in NSW. Orders are being received from around Australia.
FCIA to receive micro-fuel cells in Jan./Feb. 2006 for demonstration purposes.
A cluster of twenty[20] high schools in Western Sydney,UWS and TAFE, now have FCIA built model fuel cell cars.
FCIA gains a state grant from The Environmental Trust of NSW (Jan06).http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/grants/2005edcmsummary.htm#Fuel
Press release-20/03/06 "First micro hydrogen fuel cell power source arrives in Australia".
Principals and teachers needing guidance or report copies within Australia: Contact FCIA@Hydrogen.id.au for free guidance. BENEFITS OF FUEL CELLS It is recommended that Australian High Schools begin H2 & Fuel Cell Science education programs as soon as possible, so that progression can start in year 2005.
