Everyone is About hydrogen energy
taking about
In broad terms, hydrogen can be produced from water (green hydrogen) or from fossil
fuels (brown hydrogen). Clearly, the greener the better from our perspective.
hydrogen
Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen
through a process called electrolysis. This process uses an electrolyser - a vat of water
containing two electrical nodes (one being negative and the other positive), and a
separate ‘exit valve’ near each node. Conducting an electric current from one node
through the water to the other node causes a chemical reaction in the water. The water
molecules (H2O) split into hydrogen and oxygen (H2 and O2). The hydrogen molecules
attract toward the negative node and the oxygen molecules attract toward the positive
node, meaning separate exit valves make it possible to collect both the hydrogen and

TEAM MOLONEY PICAC NARRE WARREN WINS
EXCELLENCE IN SUSTAINABILITY AWARD
We are proud to report to members that your union owned and industry
operated research and training facility at Narre Warren has been recognised
at the Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air conditioning and Heating
(AIRAH) annual industry excellence awards.
The Plumbing Industry Climate Action Centre (PICAC) together with the project architects the NDY
Group awarded the 2020 AIRAH Excellence in Sustainability Award for PICAC Narre Warren.
As we have outlined to members in several Journal articles over recent years, PICAC Narre Warren is
an incredible facility, and this award is well deserved.
It is the first Net Zero Energy (NZE) education and research facility in Victoria, Australia and has been
designed to utilise the very latest technological advances in water reticulation, heating and cooling
systems, training delivery, safety, new product innovation and sustainability practices.
The project utilised the building’s own foundation screw piling to source geothermal energy for the
facility’s heating and cooling requirements. The combination of 220 geothermal energy wells and the
rooftop solar made this a groundbreaking project, showcasing how buildings are part of the solution
to the challenges of climate change.
