Future Fuels CRC is at the forefront of research and development to support Australia’s multibillion dollar energy sector to transition to low-carbon fuels. We work with our partners in a collaborative and connected research community embracing industry, academia and government. Our research is focussed into three programs to enable this transition:
Research
Program 1 Future Fuel Technologies, Systems And Markets
Program 1 focuses on understanding the technical, commercial, market barriers and opportunities of future fuels. Our research will generate tools to model production and delivery systems for future fuels including hydrogen and bio methane.
Learn MoreProgram 2 Social Acceptance, Public Safety & Security Of Supply
Program 2 studies the social and policy context, including public acceptance and safety, for technology and infrastructure associated with future fuels. Early and effective engagement with communities will build public understanding and acceptance of the major infrastructure innovations and investments required to deliver future fuels.
Learn MoreProgram 3 Network Lifecycle Management
Using outputs of Programs 1 and 2 as well as known technical issues, Program 3 designs new cost-effective integrity systems to enhance operations of the infrastructure carrying both existing and future fuels. Solutions are provided to asset owners on the suitability of metallic and polymer pipe materials for the transport and storage of low carbon fuels.
