What's really going on during fracking
How do fluids such as water, gas and petroleum move in the earth?
Solar thermal for mineral processing
It is a fact that in a country like ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, dominated by the primary production of commodities such as iron ore, copper and alumina, the industrial processes that produce these for export account for around half of our energy consumption.
Solar for hydrogen production
Imagine 10 years from today, an underground mine, where waste water is continuously pumped out to keep it dry. ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide researchers are looking into ways to build a better world, and turn this nuisance into a fuel source through hydrogen fuelled vehicles! Â
