From our various human practice events ( Click here! ) we found that there was a missing link between industry and the broader public with respect to communication about hydrogen gas energy, so we aimed to bridge the gap to further propel the innovation, implementation and utilisation of renewable hydrogen gas.
Stage One
Our first step in this process involved conducting an online survey that was completed by over 150 respondents across multiple age brackets and geographic locations within Australia. This survey was designed to give us insight into consumers’ perceptions around renewable energy and what sort of product might appeal to the Australian market. A statistical analysis of the results was performed and yielded some extremely useful information:
Based on these results we realised that there was unmet demand for a product that empowered individual consumers to produce their own renewable energy at home. In response to this, and after reviewing the huge potential for hydrogen vehicles over the next two decades in Australia, H2ydrogem decided that an at-home hydrogen refuelling station would be the best product to create as our prototype.
