AUSTRALIA TO BECOME HYDROGEN ECONOMY

摘要

Australia is on track to become one of the world's first hydrogen economies by the mid-21st century, based on research underway in a consortium of the nation's Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs). Hydrogen could become the main power source for both electricity and transport - transfiguring Australia from a small but greenhouse intense economy into a leader in efforts to halt global warming. The nation has more than 500 years' supply of energy which can be converted to clean hydrogen for electricity or liquid fuels for transport in the state of Victoria alone, says Dr David Brockway, chief executive of the CRC for Clean Power from Lignite.
