Australia's next export boom?

A Queensland breakthrough by CSIRO could be Australia's next boom export. Hydrogen as a fuel for cars hydrogen derived from ammonia!

For the past decade, researchers have worked on producing ultra-high purity hydrogen using a unique membrane technology.

The membrane breakthrough will allow hydrogen to be safely transported and used as a mass production energy source.

"We are certainly the first to demonstrate the production of very clean hydrogen from ammonia," Dr Dolan said.

"Today is the very first time in the world that hydrogen cars have been fuelled with a fuel derived from ammonia — carbon-free fuel."

Interesting article here

BTW in case you didn't know CSIRO = Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. That's the Commonwealth of Australia - it's the same mob that bought you (among other things) - Wifi, plastic banknotes, Hendra virus vaccine, extended wear contact lenses, self twisting yarn, and Aerogard.

thank you Mr Magoo

OK - I'll keep going then - OZ is now the biggest exporter of natural gas and soon could catch up or be first with hydrogen - we already have test cars running on it and all they emit as waste product is water!
