Dr Sarbjit Giddey is Group Leader of the Thermal and Electrochemical Technologies Group, that sits within the Energy Technologies Program at CSIRO. The Group consists of six teams across three locations within Australia, developing next generation technologies in the complete hydrogen value chain. The major focus areas are renewable fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia production and utilisation, hybrid energy systems involving integration of emerging technologies such as fuel cells, electrolysers and battery storage. Dr Giddey has formed several external engagements (with companies such as Orica, Australian Carbon Innovation, Ceramic Oxide Fabricators, Energy Australia, Delta Energy, ATCO Gas), and strategic partnership with several local and overseas universities. Dr Giddey joined CSIRO in 1999 and has over 25 years R&D experience in high and low temperature electrochemistry and hydrogen related technologies. Dr Giddey has a strong interest in the development of technologies for decarbonisation of the fossil fuel-based industry, transport and power generation sectors. He has led several industrially focussed projects. Dr Giddey has initiated several commercial relationships with the industry, leading to the establishment of multi-million-dollar projects including the establishment of the Centre for Hybrid Energy Systems (CHES) in Melbourne.
