Last updated: 15 February 2022

Future Fuels Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) is an industry focused Research, Development & Demonstration (RD&D) partnership between community, industry, government and acadmia embracing industry, academia. The Australian government co-funds the CRC, which has supported approximately 100 research projects conducted by research institutions in collaboration with a diverse range of participants. The Future Fuels CRC focuses on enabling the decarbonisation of Australia’s gas and fuels sectors. The CRC's RD&D focuses on: • understanding the technical, commercial, market barriers and opportunities of future fuels. Our research will generate tools to model production and delivery systems for future fuels including hydrogen and bio methane. • social and policy context, including public acceptance and safety, for technology and infrastructure associated with future fuels. • designing new cost-effective integrity systems to enhance operations of the infrastructure carrying both existing and future fuels. Solutions are provided to asset owners on the suitability of metallic and polymer pipe materials for the transport and storage of low carbon fuels.
