Curtin University is advancing a project to export hydrogen as a stable powder using sodium borohydride. The team has successfully produced small batches of the powder through renewable energy-driven electrochemical methods and confirmed its ability to release hydrogen reliably when mixed with water.

The project is on track with mid-project milestones, revealing potential improvements for scaling, including purification and byproduct management. Future efforts will concentrate on boosting production volumes, enhancing hydrogen generation equipment, and preparing for pilot-scale facilities to test the technology in practical applications.
