The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Summary
Design and optimisation of metal hydride hydrogen storage tanks. This project aims to tackle the bottlenecks of the current metal hydride hydrogen storage tank developed by the key industry partner LAVO, i.e., limited storage capacity and non-efficient structure design. Through advanced numerical modelling and machine learning methods, the metal hydride hydrogen storage tank will be optimised by redesigning advanced heat management systems and optimised hydride materials, enabling it to store an ....Design and optimisation of metal hydride hydrogen storage tanks. This project aims to tackle the bottlenecks of the current metal hydride hydrogen storage tank developed by the key industry partner LAVO, i.e., limited storage capacity and non-efficient structure design. Through advanced numerical modelling and machine learning methods, the metal hydride hydrogen storage tank will be optimised by redesigning advanced heat management systems and optimised hydride materials, enabling it to store and deliver hydrogen in a more controllable way with high performance. Expected outcomes of the project include the numerical platform to improve the material and design iteration and a prototype of the next-generation metal hydride hydrogen storage system. This opens a new market for Australian-H2 storage tanks.

Summary
A More Sustainable High-speed Drive System for Air Conditioning Systems. The project aims to develop an environmentally & strategically sustainable high-speed drive system for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. A novel rare-earth-less high-speed electric motor (70k rpm) will be designed and experimentally validated. The outcomes will help to mitigate the potential rare earth crisis faced by the HVAC and other industries by significantly reducing the rare earth permane ....A More Sustainable High-speed Drive System for Air Conditioning Systems. The project aims to develop an environmentally & strategically sustainable high-speed drive system for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. A novel rare-earth-less high-speed electric motor (70k rpm) will be designed and experimentally validated. The outcomes will help to mitigate the potential rare earth crisis faced by the HVAC and other industries by significantly reducing the rare earth permanent magnets used in their drive systems. The design will also enable Conry Tech's HVAC products to use greener refrigerants with extremely low impact on global warming and improve its system efficiency. This project's success will help revive advanced manufacturing of premium HVAC and electric motor products in Australia.Read moreRead less

Summary
Next generation soil carbon satellite-based measurement for carbon markets. Soil carbon sequestration is a federal government priority to offset greenhouse gas emissions. Efforts to advance this opportunity are hindered by the high technical costs of soil carbon quantification. This project will develop an innovative and potentially commercialisable technology that integrates ground data, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), satellites, Eddy covariance CO2 flux towers, soil carbon (C) models, and ar ....Next generation soil carbon satellite-based measurement for carbon markets. Soil carbon sequestration is a federal government priority to offset greenhouse gas emissions. Efforts to advance this opportunity are hindered by the high technical costs of soil carbon quantification. This project will develop an innovative and potentially commercialisable technology that integrates ground data, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), satellites, Eddy covariance CO2 flux towers, soil carbon (C) models, and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the accuracy of satellite-based soil C modelling. The project will provide an accurate and cost-effective solution to quantification of soil C changes to unlock a large potential of carbon offsets in rangelands in Australia and worldwide.Read moreRead less
