Hydrogen Storage

What we do

What we do

As the world transitions towards a future of green energy, we require new technologies to enable the wide-spread adoption of renewable energy. Here at Curtin, the Hydrogen Storage Research Group team (HSRG) investigates new types of materials for energy storage. And to enable 24/7 renewable energy we require energy storage.

Our expertise in this area is used in conjunction with our industry partners to provide real-world solutions to research level problems in the energy storage space. Our expertise spans multiple research fields including those of hydrogen rich materials, new battery technologies, and thermochemical energy storage materials.
