A new research consortium led by UNSW Sydney in partnership with the NSW Office of the Chief Scientist & Engineer (OCSE) will explore the use of excess renewable energy to power various infrastructural sectors in New South Wales.
The researchers will study the potential to grow a new industry that will use cheap excess renewable energy to make fuel, chemicals and feedstocks to power a range of infrastructure in the State. Led by Scientia Professor Rose Amal from the School of Chemical Engineering, the team will undertake a roadmap exercise, NSW Power-to-X (P2X) Industry Feasibility Study, which will assess and develop opportunities for decarbonisation and growing local manufacturing capabilities. The work will be carried out with the support of the OCSE.
