Queensland gets collaboration with Japan in green energy R&D

The Queensland government has reported two new collaboration efforts that connect the state’s green energy designs even more near Japanese research and exhibit capacities. 

The government announced that the University of Queensland and the University of Tokyo had renewed their 25-year partnership in research by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). 

Treasurer and Minister for Trade and Investment Cameron Dick said, “This important research partnership provides invaluable support to reach our renewable energy goals. 

Expanding the scope of the MOU to bioengineering and nanotechnology will further advance the state’s capabilities to process new sustainable fuel sources.” 

It uncovered that a 12-meter hydrogen energy unit controlled boat worked by Osaka diesel motor, large equipment and farming hardware maker Yanmar (envisioned) would be shown in the Port of Brisbane in 2024. 

The new MOU has widened the extent of a coordinated effort among Japan and Queensland to environmentally friendly power industries, especially hydrogen and biofuel. 

Yanmar reported it would exhibit its 12-meter-long hydrogen cruiser in Brisbane in August, one year from now. 

Yanmar toured marine and shipyard plan offices at the Port of Brisbane recently and is in conversation with neighbourhood boatmakers. 

The vessel will be fuelled by sustainable hydrogen created at state-owned partnership CS Energy’s Kogan Renewable Hydrogen Demonstration Plant. 

The organisation is likewise fostering a 300kW class marine hydrogen energy component system that can be mounted on different kinds of ships, planning to put it up for sale to the public in 2023. 

The MOU endorsed on Friday will initially focus on a collaboration effort between the College of Tokyo’s Research Centre for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST) and UQ’s Australian Organisation for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology.
