The hydrogen industry in Australia has gained tremendous momentum in 2018 and after the publishing of the National Hydrogen Roadmap. In this study, a comprehensive review of the recent history of hydrogen-related activities and publications, as well as hydrogen funding programs and the funded projects, was conducted. Most of these activities were tabulated and discussed from the perspective of sorting, documentation, and contrast. The broad picture indicates the need and necessity of a unified national database for the hydrogen industry landscape. An innovative modular online (web-based) crowdsourced database platform is introduced in this paper as the “Australia Hydrogen Industry Knowledge-Sharing Platform” to include all hydrogen-related activities in Australia. This web-based platform will be presented in the form of a business to generate revenue to offset operation and maintenance costs and ensure the system updating. This study will not only guide the Australian governments and/or stakeholders to develop a hydrogen economy for the future but also other countries to promote their hydrogen industry.

There is paucity of data on the quantification of the benefits of residential greywater reuse via direct diversion. While estimates have been made based on modelling the potential mains water savings, it is also recognised that the practicalities of system operation and occupant behaviour introduce substantial variation to these estimates. Three single residential housing projects in Fremantle, Western Australia, undertaken over ten years with a substantial focus on water efficiency and mains water substitution, have provided an opportunity to quantify these benefits. All three dwellings were intensively metered and documented. This paper describes the learnings generated along the way, including the methodology developed to effectively integrate direct diversion greywater reuse into a productive garden, along with other water sources to satisfy landscape water demand. Importantly a robust quantification of actual greywater volumes and associated mains water savings was made. The publication of actual greywater volumes will significantly contribute to this field and go a long way towards validating the merits of residential greywater reuse on mains water savings when systems are properly installed and operated. Brief considerations are also provided for energy efficiency and financial assessment.

The objective of this study is to elucidate the mechanism by which blockages occur in sewer pipes following the deposition of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) and suspended solids (SS). In this study, a simulated wastewater flow experiment was conducted to elucidate the mechanism of sewer pipe blockage using lauric acid as fatty acid and florisil to simulate FOG and SS blockages, respectively. Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride pipes (ϕ = 50 mm) with a flow speed of 2 L/min and 1% inclination were used in this experiment. In “Case L & F (lauric acid florisil),” the deposition of florisil and adhesion of solids increased at the bottom of the sewer pipe over a set period. After seven days, decreases in lauric acid concentration from 1000 to 57 mg/L and in Ca2+ concentration from 18 to 0.8 mg/L were observed. FOG deposits formed solids by the saponification of lauric acid and Ca2+ from tap water. In the simulated kitchen wastewater, either lauric acid or florisil exhibited solid deposition and adhesion. Based on these findings, the blockage mechanism was elucidated to confirm FOG deposition of and SS influenced by the combination of lauric acid, Ca2+, and florisil.

A 100% renewable energy-based stand-alone microgrid system can be developed by robust energy storage systems to stabilize the variable and intermittent renewable energy resources. Hydrogen as an energy carrier and energy storage medium has gained enormous interest globally in recent years. Its use in stand-alone or off-grid microgrids for both the urban and rural communities has commenced recently in some locations. Therefore, this research evaluates the techno-economic feasibility of renewable energy-based systems using hydrogen as energy storage for a stand-alone/off-grid microgrid. Three case scenarios in a microgrid environment were identified and investigated in order to select an optimum solution for a remote community by considering the energy balance and techno-economic optimization. The “HOMER Pro” energy modelling and simulating software was used to compare the energy balance, economics and environmental impact amongst the proposed scenarios. The simulation results showed that the hydrogen-battery hybrid energy storage system is the most cost-effective scenario, though all developed scenarios are technically possible and economically comparable in the long run, while each has different merits and challenges. It has been shown that the proposed hybrid energy systems have significant potentialities in electrifying remote communities with low energy generation costs, as well as a contribution to the reduction of their carbon footprint and to ameliorating the energy crisis to achieve a sustainable future.

Power to hydrogen is a promising solution for storing variable Renewable Energy (RE) to achieve a 100% renewable and sustainable hydrogen economy. The hydrogen-based energy system (energy to hydrogen to energy) comprises four main stages; production, storage, safety and utilisation. The hydrogen-based energy system is presented as four corners (stages) of a square shaped integrated whole to demonstrate the interconnection and interdependency of these main stages. The hydrogen production pathway and specific technology selection are dependent on the type of energy and feedstock available as well as the end-use purity required. Hence, purification technologies are included in the production pathways for system integration, energy storage, utilisation or RE export. Hydrogen production pathways and associated technologies are reviewed in this paper for their interconnection and interdependence on the other corners of the hydrogen square. Despite hydrogen being zero-carbon-emission energy at the end-use point, it depends on the cleanness of the production pathway and the energy used to produce it. Thus, the guarantee of hydrogen origin is essential to consider hydrogen as clean energy. An innovative model is introduced as a hydrogen cleanness index coding for further investigation and development.

Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) is a challenging issue for low-income countries, impacting on the environment, socio-economic, health, aesthetics and infrastructure, due to the generated volume of wastes, treatment and disposal methods. This challenge is often impacted by the transitioning of MSWM from mostly unsustainable methods to a sustainable level. A meaningful MSWM transition requires an understanding and consideration of historical developments and common themes. This paper reviews the common themes limiting MSWM sustainability in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries as well as the historical transition of MSWM to a sustainable level in some high-income countries (United States, Japan, Denmark, and Australia). The study focuses on the interaction of MSWM with technology systems, related environmental issues, socio-economic factors, influence on policy and decision making. The objective of the paper is to develop a holistic MSWM framework to address the prevailing issues, by systematic analysis of related and relevant literatures. The key MSWM findings drawn from the BRIC countries in this study is used to develop a thematic framework, underpinned by the different interacting factors of policy; environmental; socio-economic; and technology (PEST). The PEST thematic framework presents an adaptable systematic tool to policy and decision makers towards improving MSWM in low-income countries.

The return of investment of a microgrid (MG) project can be accelerated by minimizing the cost of energy production. Implementing demand response (DR) is one of the inexpensive solutions to accelerate this investment return rate. Under a DR program, MG loads can be re-scheduled from peak to off-peak periods, or shaved and shed during peak periods, depending on the loads’ flexibility. However, additional costs are needed to provide the enabling technologies. On the other hand, DR execution may reduce customers’ comfort; thus, the MG operator should provide some incentives to the participants for compensation. The given incentives should be effective and feasible for both DR participants and the MG operator. This study aims to determine the DR incentives derived from the differences of MG profit before and after implementing this program. The given incentive varies based on the discomfort level, felt by the participants, and the load’s economic value. A Genetic Algorithm tool is used as the optimization method in this study.

Since the 1940s, the models used to estimate peak water demand has been based largely upon variations and refinements of the probabilistic ‘fixture unit’ model. An approach originally advanced by Hunter (1940) in the United States of America (USA). Seeking an improved approach to the 'fixture unit' model, now widely recognised as outdated, is the key driving force behind the current work. Boosted by the development of computing power, the plumbing industry, researchers, and academics have, over the last decade, developed computational models as a means of estimating peak water demand. This paper builds on computational models embracing the estimation of peak water demand. A brief outline of the fixture unit and its limitations is provided with key developments in computational modeling comprising current developments from the USA and UK. A brief outline of computational models is presented: Modified Wistort Method (MWM); the Exhaustive Enumeration Method (EEM), and the Water Demand Calculator (WDC). Also presented, from the UK, is the Loading Unit Normalisation Assessment method (LUNA) aimed at an improved model to size domestic hot and cold-water systems. The analysis of the computational models suggests the WDC model is conceivably the most compatible with that of the plumbing industry's design requirements. Suggesting this model could easily be adapted to meet the requirements across international borders. Challenges for the international acceptance of the WDC are the field study requirements to determine p (probability of use) and q (fixture flow rate) values for all types of buildings.

This study investigates the effect of indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the optimal long-term planning and short-term operational scheduling of a desalination-based water supply system. The system was driven by grid-electricity and surplus output from residential rooftop photovoltaics to deliver water and energy to urban areas. The interactive two-level mixed integer linear programming model took into account demands, system configurations, resources capacities and electricity tariffs as well as GHG emission factor associated with the source of grid electricity. Both system and carbon abatement costs were considered in the formulation of the objective function. The optimal decisions for Perth (Australia) resulted in $47,449,276 higher discounted total cost but 51,301.3 tCO2eq less GHG emissions over 15 years planning horizon compared to when only system costs were minimised. Finally, the predominant effect of the indirect GHG emissions costs over system costs on the optimal solutions indicated their high sensitivity towards the source of purchased grid electricity.

Smart metering and data analytics enable the implementation of a range of on-site infrastructures for energy, water and waste management to demonstrate the interconnected infrastructure of future smart cities. A research project in Western Australia is integrating smart metering technology, household participation and data analytics. An improved understanding of hybrid water systems at residential scale, as socially accepted solutions to promote water efficiency and economic savings, within the traditional centralized urban water network is achieved. An integrated water model and a system of water credits and debits are developed and tested on a case study for which 10-minute logged water consumption data of its hybrid water system are available for 1 year. The model is shown to provide a full characterization of the relationship between the household and the water resources, thus assisting with improved urban water management which promotes the rollout of decentralized hybrid water systems whilst accounting for the impacts on the aquifer as an ecosystem service provider.

Householders in cities face water-related issues due to the increasing cost and restrictions in water use, especially during drought. They respond in many different ways, ranging from installing water efficient appliances, adopting water-saving behavior and implementing greywater reuse, to being water self reliant (off-mains supply). The latter approach should consider using only rainwater falling on the property boundaries, and if self-supply is from groundwater it should be derived from rainwater falling on the property. Therefore, sustainability depends on the annual rainfall, size of property and availability of storage for water to be used during periods without rainfall. In principle any house can be retrofitted to rely solely on rainwater, because technologies exist to treat subsequent wastewater to any quality desired for reuse. However, the energy requirement and investment needed may negate overall sustainability. Very few studies have assessed water use in households to determine whether relying solely on rainwater is practical or sustainable in the long-term. Three case studies in Perth, Western Australia are reported here, where water auditing has been used for sustainability assessment.

Remote Indigenous communities in Australia, which are generally small and widely distributed across the continent, face several socio-economic disadvantages. Yet, there are also many successful examples of Indigenous-led enterprises and initiatives in these locations. A history of top-down government policies pertaining to these communities has led to calls for improved engagement with residents regarding economic development, service delivery and climate change vulnerability. At the same time, increased carbon emissions are likely to ensue from economic development efforts if not planned carefully. This article proposes a community-directed approach, the Resilient Communities and Livelihoods Asset Integration Model (ReCLAIM) to achieve low-carbon development in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The design of the model is outlined, along with the results of applying the first step of the model, an asset and aspirations identification workshop, with two remote Indigenous communities in Australia. The results of the first workshop indicate that residents in these communities are already applying efficiency, resource-sharing and other strategies to limit resource use. Therefore, the focus in these communities should be on assisting and enhancing outcomes of these endogenous strategies, rather than the behaviour change approach that has often been applied within low-carbon programmes. Behavioural efficiency measures alone will also provide little impact, without commensurate changes to building design and energy supply systems. Both communities had a diversity of assets to employ towards mitigation strategies and development aspirations, although deficiencies in funding, resourcing and long-term working partnerships were also identified. Selection criteria to screen potential strategies were developed from workshop responses, and the process would be applicable to similar communities, globally.

Microgrid deployment has offered technical and economical benefits such as improving grid reliability, maximizing penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources, reducing the cost of energy production, etc. However, to realize those advantages, the costs of microgrid implementation may be bloated as microgrid need additional investment for the enabling technologies. Therefore, an appropriate approach to determine the economic viability of microgrid to quantify the values of microgrid benefits is needed. This study performs a techno-economic analysis of a small-scale grid-connected microgrid deployment which consists of photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage system. The analysis is done by considering the possible bussines models available in Indonesia where the microgrid test case is located, i.e, net metering for electricity bill, feed-in tariff for utilizing renewable energy, demand response (DR) implementation by exploiting battery roles in response of price variation during peak and off-peak period and assuming compensation is given every time microgrid is in islanded mode due to fault event occur in the main grid. The feasibility of each model is indicated by the microgrid’s net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR). The results show that further incentives from the utility or Government is required to make the small-scale microgrid deployment economically sustainable.

Water availability is an important aspect for sustainable regional development. Yogyakarta has problems in water availability. The demand for water in Yogyakarta Province is gradually increasing with higher consumption for human consumption, industry, and agriculture and livestock production. Also, more inhabitants and farmers are utilizing groundwater for domestic purpose and irrigation due to long drought, respectively. This problem will be increasing as higher population leads to higher water consumption and food production. Therefore, this study aim to understand the current situation and long-term projections of water sources, and demands in 2017-2030 by using water balance concept. After that, the assessment of alternative scenarios to overcome water availability problem was performed using managed aquifer recharge concept and efficient irrigation. The result shows that within the period 2017-2030, water storage is negative in 3 (three) regencies. This means that water deficit had occurred in these regencies where water demand rate is higher than recharge rate of groundwater. Also, it might shows that most of storm water goes to surface runoff and/or most of groundwater abstraction for water demand becomes waste water production. According to the Scenario-1, recharging the aquifer with storm water, converting 45% of surface runoff to groundwater can reduce water deficit in only 2 regencies. Scenario-2 shows that converting 65%, can overcome all 3 regencies from water deficit. Combining aquifer recharge by storm water and effective irrigation can solve water deficit problem in all regencies by only converting 40% of surface runoff to groundwater. The study shows that both approaches of managed aquifer recharge and effective irrigation are applicable in Yogyakarta. In small scale, these applications can be low cost, but at larger scale, can require higher investment cost. Therefore a site-specific knowledge on the project field is very important. Large scale application will need more stakeholders and regulators involvement, and also social awareness and acceptance.

The main energy challenge in the smart cities development is the optimization of the energy system to reduce energy cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The low feed-in tariff offered by the electricity retailer is another incentive to trade the energy within the project boundaries or neighbouring precincts using the Blockchain peer to peer energy trading. This study develops an energy system model for the RENeW Nexus project as part of smart city development at stage one in the City of Fremantle for a small community (Lot 1819) comprising 36 townhouses and 50 apartments. The system was developed to simulate the optimal Power to Gas (P2G) system for excess renewable energy storage in combination with shared strata battery towards an energy self-sufficiency system. The rooftop area of the townhouses in the developed precinct has been used to generate excess renewable energy from solar photovoltaic (PV) to compensate for less area available on the rooftops of the multi-story apartment’s buildings in the presence of a large-scale centralised strata battery. The peer to peer energy trading takes place using Blockchain technology to achieve the energy self-sufficiency goal. The study also identifies the techno-economic viability of P2G system over the large-scale energy storage systems. The model simulation demonstrated that the initial cost of the P2G system is comparably less than the current conventional battery systems.

The environmental impacts of shale gas hydraulic fracturing are not completely understood. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to estimate the lifecycle environmental impacts of shale gas production per mega joule (MJ) of energy extracted and delivered. The analysis is based on using the IPCC and CML 2001‐Apr 2015 methods in GaBi software on a case study of a shale gas well. In addition to the environmental impacts, this study has compared the GWP 100 and GWP20 for shale gas and the land use change for the first time. The global warming potential (GWP100) ranges from 54 to 99 gCO2e /MJ with a central estimate of 72 gCO2e /MJ. The GWP 100, including land use change, is 230 g CO2e/MJ. The best‐case scenario, with no venting of the gas, has the minimum GWP100 impact. Shale gas has a high Marine Ecotoxicity Potential, among other environmental impacts. The bentonite contributes the most to the Abiotic Depletion Potential Elements impact. The frack water contributes the most to the Freshwater Aquatic Ecotoxicity Potential (FAETP) impact. The mercury (Hg) and radioactive elements (eg radon) are the major pollutants contributing to the Terrestrial Ecotoxicity Potential impacts. This study is of international significance because of the lack of understanding of this field and since the same approach and methodology can be used anywhere.The findings of this study can be used for optimization of the processes used by the mining and exploration companies.

An interactive multi-period planning model is presented for sustainable urban water and energy supply, taking into account surplus output from grid-connected residential photovoltaics as a part of the water-related energy mix. The two-level mixed integer linear model finds the optimal strategic and operational decisions for a desalination-based water supply system driven by hybrid energy sources and determines the evolution of the potential capacity of a renewable energy technology over the planning horizon. It considers demands, supply systems configuration, resources capacities and electricity tariffs as well as economic, subjectivity and technical criteria for uptaking rooftop photovoltaic systems. The model was then applied to Perth (Australia) and solved for alternative scenarios. The results show operational flexibility and decentralised planning of the integrated system lead to $251,515,132 less discounted total cost over centralised water supply system operated in fixed mode. They also indicate that decentralised scenario results in 42,765.1 kW higher potential photovoltaics uptake capacity on average in each year over the planning horizon in the case study area compared to centralised scenarios. However, based on the results of the sensitivity analysis, the selection of this scenario as the best alternative highly depends on the parameters values associated with subjectivity criterion and operational and maintenance cost of flexible mode of operation.
