Multiscale Integrated Modelling and Control of an Ethanol-Fuelled Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cell. The results from this project will allow use of alternative sources for energy through a better understanding of the functioning, design, operability and control of SOFCs. Fuel Cells (FCs) with biomass ethanol feed will not only act as reliable power source but also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A successful R&D effort to develop FCs will improve the national energy security by reducing the growin ....Multiscale Integrated Modelling and Control of an Ethanol-Fuelled Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cell. The results from this project will allow use of alternative sources for energy through a better understanding of the functioning, design, operability and control of SOFCs. Fuel Cells (FCs) with biomass ethanol feed will not only act as reliable power source but also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A successful R&D effort to develop FCs will improve the national energy security by reducing the growing dependency on foreign energy sources, improve the environment by reducing carbon and other harmful emissions, and improve the economic growth by expanding the portfolio of highly efficient energy and useful spill over technologies.

Transport Processes in Flexible Porous Materials for Gas Separation and Storage. This project seeks to understand the mechanisms of transport processes in flexible porous materials, which have great potential in gas separation and storage. Coal and natural gas are important to the Australian economy, and the potential applications of flexible porous materials, such as air separation and hydrogen storage, are crucial for Australia to use coal and natural gas cleanly. The analysis method to be dev ....Transport Processes in Flexible Porous Materials for Gas Separation and Storage. This project seeks to understand the mechanisms of transport processes in flexible porous materials, which have great potential in gas separation and storage. Coal and natural gas are important to the Australian economy, and the potential applications of flexible porous materials, such as air separation and hydrogen storage, are crucial for Australia to use coal and natural gas cleanly. The analysis method to be developed is useful not only to gas separation and storage, but also to hydrogeology and soil science in Australia.Read moreRead less

Summary
Characterisation Equipment for Advanced Gas Separation Applications. The proposed research will lead to the synthesis of new advanced materials capable of performing new and existing separations more efficiently than previous methods. We therefore expect the new materials to directly benefit the community through improved removal and recovery of a wide range of pollutants which would otherwise enter the environment. This research is directly aligned to the National Research Priority of Frontie ....Characterisation Equipment for Advanced Gas Separation Applications.
