Some of these have resulted in publicly available reports that are provided for download below.
Hydrogen and Biochar from Cereal Straw
ITP Thermal worked with the Melbourne based company rainbow bee eater , to investigate the potential for adapting their pyrolysis technology to the production of hydrogen using cereal straw as the input. Download Hydrogen and biochar from straw report
ACT HYDROGEN LAW REVIEW
ITP Thermal provided technical advise to Moulis Legal on this review of laws in the Australian Capital Territory that impact the future of hydrogen use.

Concentrating Solar Thermal Technology Status – Informing a CSP Roadmap for Australia.
This report reviews the technical and industry background to CSP to inform its application in Australia.
It is also available on ARENA’s knowledge sharing website along with the roadmap document prepared by JHA and reports by other contributors.
Hydrogen Research & Development in South Australia
This study led by ITP Thermal, was prepared for the South Australian Government. It is an audit of hydrogen R&D activity in that state, analysed in the context and national and international efforts.
Comparison of Dispatchable Renewable Electricity Options
This study lead by ITP for the Australian Renewable Energy Agency can be downloaded from ARENA’s website .
As well as the report there are two spreadsheet tools that allow the user to vary the input assumptions for the calculations of LCOE and installed cost.
In The Spotlight-Australian Solar Energy R&D outcomes and achievements in a global context
The ITP Thermal team working with other ITP colleagues has produced this analysis of ARENA’s Solar R&D investments in both the PV and CST fields.
