The third International Forum on Hydrogen Production Technologies (HyPT-3)
HyPT-3 will continue to explore, in depth, a range of current and emerging zero carbon emission (CO2-free) hydrogen production technologies, with world-leaders from industry, research and government agencies, keen to accelerate opportunities for low-cost hydrogen production.
This forum will present an in-depth overview of a range of current and emerging zero carbon emission (CO2-free) hydrogen production technologies and will explore through expert opinion and discussion, the different technologies, with emphasis on:
- Appraisal of current technologies, projections and limitations.
- Challenges and limitations of emerging technologies, and barriers leading to cost reduction
- Consideration of system integration, scale-up and effectiveness, as well as life-cycle analysis.
The HyPT-3 forum is organised by the Centre for Energy Technology at the University of Adelaide.
The forum will be divided into the following 7 themed sessions:
- Large-scale electrolysers - limitations and future prospects
- Emerging electrolysis technology
- Hydrogen from natural gas
- Thermochemical processes
- Hydrogen from bioresources and waste
- Photo-electrochemical (PEC) and photocatalysis (PC)
- Natural Hydrogen
Each technical session will focus on a related class of technology with extensive discussion time being allocated to address the following specific questions:
Advantages (Potential):
- Can each of the technologies achieve hydrogen production that is internationally competitive over the current benchmark of electrolysis?
Challenges:
- What are the key challenges and limitations to the uptake of each technology (including technology development, upscaling, de-risking, resource and storage variability, cost trajectories and sensitivities)?
Pathway:
- What industry-specific or market-specific drivers exist for each of the technologies?
- What knowledge can be gained from exemplars or case studies in related industries?
