In present work, adsorption related research contribution of Pakistani researchers from 1991 to 2017 have been analyzed by bibliometric methods. In total, 1,737 articles were selected through Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science) and statistical analysis of selected publications was conducted on the basis of four indicators such as total number of citations since publication to the end of the recent year, the number of citation of an article in recent year only, the total number of citations for an article in its publication year, and the total number of citations per year. A sharp increase in research output was observed after year 2000 which may be credited to reforms of Higher Education Commission in Pakistan. Though Pakistani researchers produced fewer review papers as compared to original research articles, reviews received three fold more citations. Almost 95% adsorption related articles from Pakistan have been published in low impact factor journals. Multidisciplinary chemistry journals published most of adsorption related Pakistani articles with maximum publications (10%) in Journal of the Chemical Society of Pakistan. Among various research institutes, University of Peshawar, Pakistan ranked first on the basis of total number of articles, first author articles, and corresponding author articles. Six most highly cited publications belonged to Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR). Number of international collaborative publications increased since 1991 to 2017 and resulted in their ratio being higher as compared to single institutional or nationally collaborative publications. The main focus of adsorption related literature from Pakistan since 1991 to 2017 was removal of metallic or dye contaminants from water and/or industrial effluents.

Overqualification is emerging in today’s modern world, especially in COVID-19. This study was based on data collected from the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council, a renowned scientific and research organization in agriculture sector of Pakistan. A total of 250 Questionnaires were sent online using Google Forms and few were completed physically. The final sample size for data analysis was 214 after questionnaires collection and data cleaning. Results revealed that perceived over qualification has a moderate positive impact on the Job Satisfaction level and performance of employees. It is projected that perceived over qualification does not always have a negative impact on job outcomes and that the organizational environment plays an important role in mitigating the negative effects. Additionally, if an employee's job is effectively planned and the employees believes that they have career and growth chances in the organization, perceptions of over qualification may have a favorable impact on job outcomes.

Abstract Information literacy is considered an essential competency in the workplace because it gives a competitive advantage, improves decision-making and enhances efficiency as well as effectiveness of the workforce. This study intends to investigate information literacy among scientists working at the Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR), Lahore. The data were collected from 121 scientists using a questionnaire, with both descriptive as well as inferential statistics applied for data analysis. The results indicated that a large majority of these scientists never received any formal IL training during their entire career. A large majority of these scientists, in general, perceived IL instructions as important and preferred short-term training programs if offered. In addition, these scientists were confident and competent in using searching tools, multiple printed and electronic information resources, comprehending published research and writing research papers. However, they were less comfortable in interpreting visual information, defining information needs, assessing relevance and quality, synthesizing and evaluating gathered information, using library e-resources, managing citations as well as developing and initiating search strategies. The age, gender, academic qualification, research experience and number of publications appeared as the predictor of IL self-efficacy. There was a critical need for making arrangements regarding IL instruction program for in-service scientists.

Heavy metal toxicity can either be acute or chronic effects. Long-term exposure of the body to heavy metal can progressively lead to muscular, physical and neurological degenerative process. In this research, a total of 30 representative chocolate samples were collected from local shops and markets in Lahore. All the samples were analysed to assess the levels of Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr) and Cadmium (Cd) by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer in Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR), Lahore. It was observed that the majority of chocolate samples contain heavy metals levels higher than the permissible limits as recommended by Punjab Food Rules (PFR) 2011. The levels of Pb ranged between 0.375 and 3.4 mg/kg with 90% samples having concentrations exceeding PFR allowable limit (0.5 mg/kg). Whereas, Ni concentrations varied from 0.005 to 0.28 mg/kg and 80% samples were above the PFR limit (0.025 mg/kg). Further, Cr levels analysed between 0.005 to 0.28 mg/kg and 53% samples had Cr concentrations higher than PFR limit (0.02 mg/kg). Similarly, Cd levels were observed between 0.50-3.25 mg/kg with 53% samples having Cd concentrations exceeding the PFR limit (1.0 mg/kg). Investigation indicates that the quality of available chocolates is not recommendable for eating because of the higher concentrations of toxic heavy metals.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the mean bacterial penetration % in surgical gowns at differentlaundering cycles which were used in three different categories of Hospital. Material & Methods: Fifty, locally available reusable surgicalgowns were collected from all the major teaching hospitals of Lahore as sample. Samples were analyzed and compared against internationalstandards. Samples were tested at different laundering cycles (after 0, 5, 10, 15, & 20 washings). The gowns were laundered at Mayo hospitallaundry services. The surgical gowns were subjected to multiple laundering cycles. The bacterial penetration test was performed atMicrobiology Lab., PCSIR (Pakistan Council of Scientific & Industrial Research) Laboratories Complex, Lahore. Data was analyzed by usingSPSS 16 versions and for comparison Repeated measurement ANOVA was used. A p-value less or equal to 0 .05 will be considered assignificant. Results: Overall the mean ± S.D penetration of bacteria in all samples was as under, at 0 Washing (86.47±2.91%), 5th washing(91.53±1.72%), 10th washing (95.60±0.91%), 15th washing (08.53±0.34%) and at 20th washing (99.47±0.13%). While comparing ondifferent laundering intervals or times the penetration of bacteria (%) was statistically increased from 86.47±2.91% to 99.47±0.13 %, p-value0.001. Conclusions: When studied for change in porosity after laundering reusable surgical gowns set up of hospitals in Pakistan resulted inincreased porosity and hence more penetration of bacteria across the fabric used for manufacture of surgical gowns. The loss of barrier effect ofsurgical gown is further compounded by lack of standardization of laundering technique, infra-structure use of improper detergent and othercleaning agents. This loss of fabric characteristics results in more bacterial contamination of surgical wound risk of infection to the patient.

Full textAbstract:
The current study was conducted to assess the concentration of heavy metals in rohu (Labeo rohita) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio). A total of three sites namely Rawal Lake Islamabad, Head Balloki, and a private fish farm in Muridke were selected. Fish were dissected and tissues from the liver, kidneys, gills, and muscles were separated. Chemical digestion of samples was carried out with aqua regia. Three metals namely chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) were detected by using atomic absorption spectroscopy in the labs of Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PSCIR), Lahore, Pakistan. All metals were found at a higher level in different tissues of both the fish species. The overall trend of metals in the two fish species namely rohu and carp was recorded as Hg > Cd > Cr. It was observed that the level of Hg remained very high as compared to other metals. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and significant differences at p < 0.001 were noticed for the metals in different organs. While, independent sample t test showed non-significant differences at p > 0.483 between the two fish species. The liver was found to have the highest metal load, followed by the kidneys and gills. The metal load was above the permissible limit set by World Health Organization (WHO). However, the heavy metals concentration in muscles was below the permissible limit. It was noticed that heavy metal contamination was higher in Rawal Lake as compared to the private fish farm. It was concluded that contaminated water bodies are affecting the exposed organisms. So, there is a need to save them from pollutants for the best survival of aquatic life.

Full textAbstract:
Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), resulting from adverse space weather, have been demonstrated to cause damage to power transformers at mid-latitudes. There is growing concern over possible GIC effects in the Southern African network due to its long power lines. Previous efforts to model the electric field associated with GICs in the Southern Africa region used a uniform ground conductivity model. In an effort to improve the modelling of GICs, GIC data together with Hermanus Magnetic Observatory geomagnetic field data were used to obtain a multilayered ground conductivity model. This process requires a definition of the network coefficients, which are then used in subsequent calculations. This study shows that GIC computed with the new network coefficients and the multilayered ground conductivity model improves the accuracy of GIC modelling. Then GIC statistics are derived based on the recordings of the geomagnetic field at Hermanus, the new network coefficients and ground conductivity model. The geoelectric field is modelled using the plane wave method. The properties of the geomagnetic field, their time derivatives and local geomagnetic indices were investigated to determine their characteristics in relation to the GIC. The pattern of the time derivatives of the horizontal geomagnetic field closely follow the rate of change of the north-south geomagnetic component rather than the east-west component. The correlation between the GIC and the local geomagnetic field indices was also investigated. The results show that there is a higher correlation between the GIC and the east-west components of the geomagnetic local indices than between the GIC and the north-south components. This corresponds very well with the orientation of the power lines feeding the power transformers at the South African Grassridge electrical substation GIC site. Thus, the geoelectric field driving the GIC at Grassridge is north-south oriented. Further, it is shown that the geomagnetic observation sites have a strong directional preference with respect to the Grassridge GIC site.

The aim of this study was to compare motivational techniques used in analytical laboratories in South Africa from. The three different size laboratories selected were: Those in large corporations, those in smaller companies and contract laboratories located in Gauteng. The researcher attempted to find an underlying lack of motivational techniques being applied in this particular industry. This was achieved through a qualitative interpretation of data gathered during interviews with the laboratory managers. The interviews investigated the motivational techniques being applied in accordance with well known theories on what motivates employees. The three laboratories selected were chosen because of their unique circumstances and to be able to ascertain if the motivational techniques being applied differed between laboratories as a result of the size of their environments. A literature review was conducted detailing the findings of well known authors and their theories on what motivates people. The research of Hertzberg, McClelland, Maslow and others mentioned in the review gave evidence to support the concept of motivation in terms of: What motivates employees and evidence that motivated employees work better improving productivity. The research methodology was a qualitative analysis of responses to semi-structured interviews with the laboratory managers of the selected laboratories. The questions were divided into three sections. The first section dealt with the interviewee’s demographics. The second section focussed on the environment within the laboratory. The third section dealt with laboratory motivators being applied relative to the theories discussed in the literature review. From the results it was apparent that motivators were generally well applied in all three laboratories within the constraints of the organisations size and opportunities available. The research was successful in demonstrating the influence of the work environment on motivators being applied as well as recognising common motivational techniques used between laboratories and organisations. Future studies should focus on the effectiveness of motivators being applied from the perspective of an analyst. Following this their views should be compared with the opportunities made available by the organisation and the way in which they are applied by the laboratory managers from different laboratories.Dr. D.

Full textAbstract:
Pavement layers are constructed using a combination of materials, of which rock aggregates constitute a larger proportion. Current understanding is that the performance of pavements is dependent on the aggregate shape properties which include form, angularity and surface texture.
However, direct and accurate measurements of aggregate shape properties remain a challenge.
The current standard test methods used to evaluate aggregate shape properties cannot measure these properties accurately. Among the reasons contributing to the difficulties in the determination of aggregate shape properties is irregular shapes of aggregate particles. Therefore, current research efforts focus on developing accurate, reliable and innovative techniques for evaluation of aggregate shape properties.
The work presented in this dissertation contributes to the current innovative research at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa, to automate the
measurement of aggregate shape properties. The CSIR’s present research is aimed at improving pavement performance through better materials characterisation, using laser scanning and advanced modelling techniques. The objective of this study was to investigate improved techniques for the determination of aggregate shape properties using analytical and laser scanning techniques. A three-dimensional (3-D) laser scanning device was used for scanning six types of aggregate
samples commonly used for construction of pavements in South Africa. The laser scan data
were processed to reconstruct 3-D models of the aggregate particles. The models were further
analysed to determine the shape properties of the aggregates. Two analysis approaches were
used in this study. The first approach used the aggregate’s physical properties (surface area,
volume and orthogonal dimensions) measured by using laser scanning technique to compute
three different indices to describe the form of aggregates. The computed indices were the
sphericity computed by using surface area and volume of an aggregate particle, the sphericity
computed by using orthogonal dimensions of an aggregate particle, and the flat and elongated
ratio computed by using longest and smallest dimensions of an aggregate particle. The second
approach employed a spherical harmonic analysis technique to analyse the aggregate laser scan
data to determine aggregate form, angularity and surface texture indices. A MATLABTM code
was developed for analysis of laser scan data, using the spherical harmonic analysis technique.
The analyses contained in this dissertation indicate that the laser-based aggregate shape indices
were able to describe the shape properties of the aggregates studied. Furthermore, good
correlations were observed between the spherical harmonic form indices and the form indices
determined by using the aggregate’s physical properties. This shows that aggregate laser
scanning is a versatile technique for the determination of various indices to describe aggregate
shape properties.
Further validation of the laser-based technique was achieved by correlating the laser-based
aggregate form indices with the results from two current standard tests; the flakiness index and
the flat and elongated particles ratio tests. The laser-based form indices correlated linearly with
both, the flakiness index and the flat and elongated particles ratio test results. The observed
correlations provide an indication of the validity of laser-based aggregate shape indices. It is
concluded that the laser based scanning technique could be employed for direct and accurate
determination of aggregate shape properties.Dissertation (MEng)--University of Pretoria, 2013.

AbstractOver the past decades, farm-level yields of cowpea have remained low (0.6–0.8 t/ha) compared to what is observed on research fields (1.8–2.5 t/ha). Lack of farmer access to quality seeds of improved varieties and inappropriate cultural practices are the major factors responsible for the low productivity of the crop. The use of Innovative Platforms (IPs) as a strategy to facilitate farmer access to quality seeds was, therefore, considered under the Tropical Legume (TL) III and USAID Cowpea Outscaling projects in Northern Ghana. The platform activities started in 2016 with a total membership of 100, which increased steadily to 820 by December 2018. The research team of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research-Savannah Agricultural Research Institute (CSIR-SARI) trained platform members to produce certified seeds to be supplied to target communities, thereby enhancing smallholder farmers’ access to improved varieties. A total of 1848 members of the platform were trained in various farm operations. A revolving system was set up in which each farmer group was supplied with improved seed and after harvesting returned the equivalent of seed received to the platform. Having been trained to produce their own seed, members of the platform are self-reliant in acquiring improved seed and are actively engaged in various operations that sustain the gains of the two projects that have been phased out.

In this chapter, a new multi-layered mamdani fuzzy inference system (ML-MFIS) is proposed for the assessment of water quality (AWQ). The proposed AWQ-ML-MFIS expert system can categorize the level of water quality into excellent, normal, or dangerous for health (polluted). AWQ-ML-MFIS expert system for drinking water is developed by the guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Pakistan's Punjab environmental quality standard. AWQ-ML-MFIS expert system uses input water parameters such as bacterial, physical, chemical, and radioactive for different layers. The chemical parameters are further divided into essential inorganics, toxic inorganics, and organics. This chapter also analyses the intensities of the parameters and the results achieved by using the proposed AWQ-ML-MFIS expert system. All these parameters and results are discussed with the experts of the Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR), Lahore. The accuracy of the proposed AWQ-ML-MFIS Expert System is more accurate as compared to others approaches used for it.

The multinational giant Colgate- Palmolive can be seen caught up into legal dispute where accusation is over the company for having purloined an archaic formula to have its roots to ancient times, and also being used by Indians for generations. India foiled an attempt by consumer goods giant Colgate-Palmolive to patent a mouthwash formula containing herb extract by citing ancient texts that show it was traditionally used in ancient medicinal practices. Traditional Knowledge Digital Library of Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR-TKDL) had submitted proof in the form of references from ancient books, which said the herb and its extracts in Indian systems of medicine. The proactivness of Indian community to safeguard its traditional knowledge obstructed the profit-making strategy of the company.

Full textAbstract:
Established during the Second World War, the Commonwealth Experimental Building Station (CEBS) researched new building technologies with an emphasis on housing construction. The CEBS experimented with materials and design prototypes in collaboration with both industry and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), which later became the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). Based in North Ryde, Sydney, the CEBS was associated with the Department of Post-War Reconstruction during the Second World War and then moved to the Department of Works and Housing. The paper introduces the CEBS’s initial aims through its housing research and design experimentation with built prototypes in Sydney during the 1940s. This research into house design, positioned at the edge of innovation, is situated in the wider housing context of the period. Federally funded building research was predicated by the Commonwealth of Australia’s housing shortage during and extending beyond the Second World War. Due to a lack of traditional materials such as bricks and timber from the war effort, the agency trialled developing low-cost, prefabricated concrete and steel houses. These housing experiments are considered in connection to cultural framings of home and its physicality in circulation at the time. After the Second World War, the detached suburban house gained momentum in the political and cultural vernacular as the ideal house for ownership. By examining the CEBS’s activities in connection to this background, the paper asks how the nation-state developed mass-production systems to enable government-sponsored agencies to produce more housing for more people but also how understandings of house and home surround and influence innovation in design.

Full textAbstract:
Multiple crises in recent years, including the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the global energy crisis, the climate crisis, the decarbonization of the energy mix, the European Green Pact, the energy transition, the conflict in Ukraine, and the energy trilemma, have created the conditions for a new energy revolution. If the listed influencing factors, the sanctions imposed on Russian oil and gas as well as the confrontation with the components of the trilemma, energy security, minimal impact on the environment and access to commercial energy for all are taken into account, ambitious commitments and programs to gradually eliminate fossil fuels (coal) from the energy equation and to replace suppliers of this type of fuels with suppliers of "clean fuels" will not be met by the established deadlines. The economic and technical obstacles that must be surmounted to assure energy efficiency, energy independence, and sustainability impose a cost on the final consumers (domestic and industrial), who are constrained by certain affordability limits. Can Romanian coal still be regarded a safety element for the national energy system under these circumstances? Although today's fossil fuel resources will sustain the Romanian economy at the present rate of extraction for another century, can they be adapted to meet environmental standards so that the cost of a kilowatt-hour of energy is affordable for all? Can the decarbonization of the energy sector be delayed in the current international context so as to minimize the risk of "energy poverty" among consumers and not increase Romania's electricity import? The focus of the current research is on an analysis of the extractive industry's current state in respect to energy trends supported by the World Energy Council (WEC).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Ti-6Al-4V is a common alloy known for its use in aerospace and/or biomedical applications. In this study, Mo has been employed to increase the biocompatibility of Ti-6Al-4V. Two samples of Ti-6Al-4V with layers of differing percentages of Mo were produced using laser metal deposition at the National Laser Center of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Pretoria, South Africa. One sample was manufactured with layers containing 15-10-5-0-5-10-15 wt% Mo at 1500W laser power and another sample was prepared with 0-5-10-15-10-5-0 wt% Mo at 1700W. The microstructures of 0% Mo showed Widmanstätten alpha. Adding Mo, the layers indicated lamellar microstructure. The properties of lower and upper layers with the same concentration of Mo were found to vary due to thermal effects occurring in the process of printing and possible intermetallic bonding. This paper discusses underlying factors for the results obtained on graded samples at different laser powers (1500 and 1700 W) in detail. The findings infer that the higher percent of Mo (above 10%) is not advisable for biomedical applications due to cracking and other related issues. The results indicate need for further research to optimize the laser metal deposition process to yield consistent production of functionally graded material.

Full textAbstract:
Portugal does not have nuclear power plants but records an increasing production of radioactive waste from medical, industrial and research applications of radioactive materials in the form of sealed and unsealed sources; the country totals include also the spent fuel of one nuclear reactor for research purposes. Since radioactive waste management policies and practices in Portugal will have to comply with the Council Directive 2011/70/Euratom and the IAEA Joint Convention, the search for scientific and technological solutions to deal with radioactive wastes produced in the country started some years ago. The research carried out recently under the scope of a national funded project (KADRWaste, PTDC/CTE-GEX/82678/2006) represents a firm step in this commitment. Indeed, the transfer of methodologies tested and validated in this project allowed for improvement to a procedure to assess suitable sites to receive a near-surface repository for “Low and Intermediate Level Waste, Short Live and Long Live” (LILW-SL, LL) wastes in Portugal mainland. Although the main stages of the procedure can be of universal usage, details were designed according to the intrinsic geological, geomorphic and meteorological features of previously selected target-areas. All the requirements exhaustively listed in many reports of the IAEA were fulfilled and, in addition, the application of mineralogical, geochemical and textural criteria is strongly advised. The proposed procedure is based on a 5 key-steps approach preceded by clarification of the boundary conditions to be imposed, which are crucial to the inventory of various compulsory technical requirements. This analysis requires the adoption of stringent criteria, many of them of multi-disciplinary nature, including tests of vulnerability and assessment of uncertainty, besides the environmental impact risk. As a result, priority targets that are not excluded will integrate different classes and, depending on the existing knowledge, it will be possible to select locations suitable for the repository installation, taking into account also the political, social and administrative dimensions behind this decision.

Full textAbstract:
A phase-controllable air injection exciter system was developed to enable measurement of the forced response properties of a transonic axial compressor blisk. The project was performed as part of the FP7 European framework programme project FUTURE. The eventual aim of this project is to improve existing turbomachinery blade flutter prediction methods. The development and manufacturing of the exciter system was performed by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in Pretoria, South Africa. The exciter system consists of 15 air injectors, each with its own servo motor and controller. The injectors consist of a small rotating disc with a specific number of holes equispaced around the periphery, rotating within a pressurised volume. When the holes are rotated, using a servo motor, past an exit tube an air pulse is generated that is injected upstream of the compressor. The controllers enable adjustment of the relative phase angle between the exciters and in this way a pattern that resembles different nodal diameters can be excited on the rotor blisk. Once the construction of the system was completed, it was transferred to Stellenbosch University, South Africa for sub-scale testing on a low speed compressor. The purpose of the sub-scale tests was to commission and verify the operation of the exciter system. The tests started with simple in-phase tests and then worked towards more complex test parameters that included frequency sweeps through the natural frequency of the compressor blades. The tests showed that it is possible to generate a blade response of different nodal diameters using the exciters. The blade response was also found to vary depending on the number of rotor holes, air supply pressure and sweep rate used for the exciters. Following completion of the sub-scale tests, the completed system was transferred to the transonic compressor test facility of the Technical University Darmstädt (TUD) where both free flutter and forced response experiments were performed on a purpose-designed blisk in the transonic compressor test rig. The experimental campaign was successfully completed with the forced response experiments showing that the air injection system could be used to measure the response characteristics of the blisk.

Abstract. Introduction. The problem of women's health protection in enterprises producing and using nickel and its compounds is particularly relevant, since women make up a significant contingent of workers at some stages of production. Nickel and its compounds are used in the production of high-alloy steels, alloys with copper, chromium, aluminum, as a catalyst in the processes of hydrogenation of fats, in the production of batteries, nickel-plating of metal products. In case of violations of the technological process, labor protection conditions, workers may be exposed to nickel aerosol and its oxides. Purpose. To study the effect of nickel and its insoluble compounds on the reproductive function of white rats. Method of research. The studies were carried out on sexually mature female white rats weighing 180-200 g with a stable estrous cycle lasting 4-6 days. Experimental studies were conducted in accordance with national and international regulatory requirements ensuring humane treatment of animals used in experiments: Directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union of September 22, 2010 on the protection of animals used in scientific purposes, Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation of 01.04.2016 No. 199n «On approval of the Rules of good laboratory Practice». The industrial conditions for the action of aerosol of insoluble nickel compounds were simulated in a special chamber with an individual intake of aerosol into the breathing zone at a concentration of 0.2 mg / m3 daily for 4 hours during the entire gestation period. The animals were assessed for the dynamics of body weight on the 1st, 8th, 14th and 20th days of pregnancy. On the 20th day of pregnancy, the number of yellow bodies of pregnancy, placentas and fetuses was determined, pre-, post-implantation and total intrauterine death, average length and weight of fetuses, and average placenta weight were calculated. The total number of pregnant females and fetuses was recorded with the subsequent calculation of the number of fetuses per female. Results. The action of an aerosol of insoluble nickel compounds at a concentration of 0.2 mg / m3 in this mode did not lead to a violation of the reproductive function of white rats in all the studied parameters. Conclusion. The experimental data obtained indicate that insoluble nickel compounds at the level of the maximum permissible concentrations for the air of the working area will not pose a risk of developing reproductive health pathology in working women.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In December 2018, the Council of Australian Governments set a vision (Australia Hydrogen Strategy) for a clean, innovative, safe, and competitive hydrogen industry that benefits all Australians and will be a major global player by 2030. This study will summarize the current and forecast uses and volumes of hydrogen along with estimating the potential future range of hydrogen prices and prices’ key drivers across Australia seven territories. The seven hubs are the basis to understand the range in hydrogen prices combined with the technologies available to produce hydrogen across Australia. These seven hubs are planned as a springboard to large scale production, although hydrogen projects can be outside these hubs as well. The impact of the drivers and price assessment across the green and blue hydrogen technologies were studied. Hydrogen price ranges were calculated and are based on the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) for the different electrolysis technologies as well as, steam methane reforming, black coal and lignite gasification with carbon capture and sequestration. The price is equivalent to a Free on Board (FOB) or at wellhead price. The model was built to replicate the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) LCOH for the mentioned technologies, which was then used to model the price for green and blue hydrogen across the seven states and territories. Since the model is based on LCOH it does not incorporate additional costs such as transport or company overheads and market forces such as supply and demand. A comparison of the hydrogen price for various generation methods across the states and territories of Australia was generated and analyzed. The key observations from the results include: 1) there is neither a leading technology nor a leading territory for the low or high hydrogen price; 2) variations in energy commodity prices are directly linked to the hydrogen price and the main factor to consider with green hydrogen production; 3) decreases in costs suggest efficiencies in technology across the green and blue hydrogen industry are starting to be realized; 4) short-term volatility is expected as the industry develops but over the longer term the price should stabilize towards the lower end of the range. With Japan is a strong partner aiming to reach hydrogen cost of A$3/kg., Australia must reduce the hydrogen production cost as much as possible to keep its competitive advantage amongst competitors. This paper will describe the hydrogen price calculation process, the variables, and considerations for each of the seven Australian territories to become the top producer and exporter of the region.
