[A sketched animation of flashing pictures representing sustainable energy solutions plays on screen]
Narrator: Our energy system is evolving, and there are plenty of sustainable solutions that can keep us powering ahead.
[Animation changes to show the multiple symbols that represent the element hydrogen]
One of these solutions is hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe.
[Animation changes to show how hydrogen is produced]
There are a couple of different ways to produce hydrogen, like with natural gas, or by using
[Animations changes to show the hydrogen and oxygen elements]
electrolysis from renewable sources.
[Animations changes to show an hydrogen powered car]
Hydrogen can power cars, support our electricity system.
[Animations changes to show a light bulb and then a conveyor belt]
Is used in many industrial applications and can even be used for energy storage.
[Animations changes to show an
The only by-product of burning hydrogen is water.
[Animations changes to show a droplet of water]
And new technology means that carriers like ammonia
[Animations changes to show the hydrogen and ammonia elements linked together]
can store and transport hydrogen to where it’s needed.
[Animations changes to show an object similar to a petrol bowser with the “H” on it]
There are many opportunities for collaboration,
[Animations changes to show a rotating map of the world]
and Australia could take the lead.
[Animations changes to show objects representing research with beakers]
CSIRO is investing in research that will help ensure hydrogen has a role to play in our energy future.
