Fuel Cell s in Australia:
In year 2003 a major conference was held in Broome Western Australia, highlighting the potential of hydrogen for Australia's future. Hydrogen has been adopted by The C.S.I.R.O. as Australia's future energy carrier. After year 2003 there were several texts produced by The Australian government detailing hydrogen and fuel cell research activities, and The World Hydrogen Energy Conference (WHEC) was held in Brisbane in year 2008.A Hydrogen Technology Roadmap book was soon developed after such for the federal government, highlighting how Australia should proceed with hydrogen in its future. A National Hydrogen Materials Alliance (N.H.M.A.) was developed by The C.S.I.R.O., which involved 12 universities and outside organisations in a research cluster. Australia can therefore be seen as quite seriously progressing forward hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. The above activities justify my personal efforts since 1996, as the first advocate and systems developer for hydrogen & fuel cells in Australia.
