“TRaCE offers an excellent opportunity to combine the fast-paced development cycles that we are capable of as an agile electric aviation company with the research capability and electric engineering prowess of Australian universities.”
– David Doral, Co-Founder and CEO, Dovetail AviationFrom electrifying clean energy systems, enhancing hydrogen storage technology and optimising the vanadium flow battery to retrofitting diesel engines to run on hydrogen, industry solutions can fast-track the global transition to net zero.
- Smarter energy systems deliver increased resilience and storage, significantly reducing carbon emissions and strengthening sovereign manufacturing capability.
- Hybrid energy storage systems used in aviation integrate hydrogen fuel cells and batteries to cut emissions and improve design, freeing up valuable space for payload.
- Waste streams and seawater each have potential as abundant resources for commercially viable renewable hydrogen generation.
Clean energy solutions supported through TRaCE collaborations have the potential to transform heavy industries and benefit regional communities, accelerating the transition to net zero.
“Heavy industries can reduce their emissions right away using our hydrogen-diesel direct injection dual-fuel system that allows diesel engines to be retrofitted to run primarily on hydrogen.”
– Professor Shawn Kook, UNSW Learn more“Our solution overcomes the need for a clean water source to produce renewable hydrogen through electrocatalytic water splitting. This is important given the high demand for clean water for drinking and agricultural purposes in regional and remote communities that often experience drought.”
– A/Professor Jason Scott, UNSW Learn more“By combining the high energy density of hydrogen fuel cells and the quick power delivery of batteries, this research could lead to a new class of aircraft, changing the aviation landscape and leading to new design and operational standards.”
