Funded Activity Summary

Perovskite Asymmetric Hollow Fibres for Oxygen Separation in Clean Coal Energy Delivery. The coal industry is one of the most important economic sectors in Australia, employing 30000 people, whilst black coal is Australia's largest export worth around $24.5 billion. Energy security of supply is critical to Australia's social stability and economic growth, though Australia's reliance on coal for energy delivery is under strong scrutiny due to carbon mitigation. This project addresses the technology needs in tonnage oxygen separation towards a more efficient and cleaner means of generating energy. The project's benefits target at providing Australian consumers with affordable electricity in a decarbonised economy, enabling clean coal energy delivery to underpin the international competitiveness of the entire Australian economy.
