The SafeREnergy Hub is divided into three Research Themes

The SafeREnergy Hub is an Australian Research Council (ARC) supported initiative which strives to address safety and reliability issues, and the environmental impact, of current energy storage and conversion technologies.

The Hub is led by Deakin University, and includes researchers from 6 other Australian universities.

Working alongside 10 industry partners over a five-year research program, the Hub will focus on delivering a new generation of technologies for energy storage and conversion, using recycled and natural materials, and eliminating the serious fire risk in current technologies.

Led by Alfred Deakin Professor Ying (Ian) Chen, the SafeREnergy Research Hub aims to address safety and reliability issues, and environmental impact of current energy storage and conversion technologies.

The Hub will deliver a new generation of technologies for storage from small-scale portable devices to large scale industrial applications, using recycled and natural materials, and eliminating the serious fire risk in current technologies. Outcomes include innovative integrated energy conversion and storage technologies and new energy materials and devices designed for different scale applications, benefiting the Australian economy, and potentially transforming the energy industry landscape.
