Accelerating research into systems integration of hydrogen

for the future net-zero energy transition through co-creation

Learn more

Our vision is to ensure that hydrogen is effectively integrated in the future equitable energy system, through holistic multi-disciplinary research which address integration challenges.

We will achieve this through a fundamental shift in critical analysis of the role of hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels (HALF) in the context of the overall energy landscape. We collaborate closely with key stakeholders to co-create robust research outcomes.

 

HI-ACT has established a national Hub of excellence and has created a collaborative ecosystem catalysing world leading research with actionable outputs and long-term, sustainable impacts. We aim to continually engage with stakeholders and interested parties throughout the process to make the transition as equitable as possible.
