Topic: How to unlock zero waste liquid hydrogen storage through the cool properties of cryogenic Hydrogen
This is a special addition to the Hydrogen Links series, offering unique international insights from HSA member correspondent in America, Liam Turner.
Liquid hydrogen, the freezing fuel at -253 Celsius gave the space age its wings, Liam now sees its potential to propel humanity into a sustainable energy future. Liam is a PhD Candidate at Monash University, investigating liquid hydrogen’s opportunity to be both a fuel and a refrigerant.
Presenter: Liam Turner, Fulbright scholar at Washington State University, PhD Candidate at Monash University
As a Fulbright scholar, Liam has spent the last year experimentally researching liquid hydrogen storage at the Hydrogen Properties for Energy Research (HYPER) Lab at Washington State University in the United States. Liquefying hydrogen at -253oC is just a typical day at HYPER.
Liam built and operated the largest indoor liquid hydrogen experiment at HYPER while learning a wealth on the design, operation and safety requirements for liquid Hydrogen systems.
His practical liquid Hydrogen experience compliments broader U.S. insights on emerging disruptors technologies which offer the opportunity to transform the way we produce, store and utilise liquid hydrogen energy across Australia.
Returning to Australia, Liam’s mission is help de-risk the opportunity of liquid hydrogen energy storage while helping develop Australian liquid hydrogen expertise training with insights from U.S. experts.
