A blast-furnace process for sustainable low-carbon iron-making and a renewable hydrogen production project have received significant funding from the Australian government.
The process can transform many forms of waste plastic into their respective polymer nanoparticles dispersed in water which can then either be extracted for re-use in preparing new consumer products, or utilised still in the aqueous dispersion in applications such as asphalting and waterproof coatings.
How we reduce CO2 emissions in the built environment is changing – with focus moving from energy efficiency to reducing embodied carbon, according to UNSW’s Philip Oldfield.
Ammonia has sustained humanity since the early 20th century, but its production leaves a huge carbon footprint. Now researchers have found a way to make it 100 per cent renewable.
UNSW Founders has launched Climate 10x, a new accelerator program set to fast track the development of six Australian startups building innovations to decarbonise the planet.
The University has placed equal 19th with the University of Sydney in the global rankings, reinforcing the city’s reputation as a top global city for higher education.
A team from UNSW Sydney’s School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering have developed the Hydrogen-Diesel Direct Injection Dual-Fuel System which will allow existing diesel engines to run using 90 per cent hydrogen as fuel.
