Facilities
Renewable Energy Laboratory
The Renewable Energy Laboratory is a custom-built facility for the development of printed, thin-film solar cells from lab to pre-commercial sizes. The facility integrates closely with CSIRO, the Australian Synchrotron, and Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication.
Monash Wind Tunnel Facility (MWTF)
Open to industry partners, researchers and students, MWTF is the largest wind tunnel in the southern hemisphere. The facility enables aerodynamic and wind noise research and development.
Deep Earth Energy Research Laboratory
This laboratory is investigating new techniques for extraction of deep earth energy resources using one of the world’s largest high-pressure, high-temperature testing chambers.
Low Emission Coal Technologies Laboratory
This laboratory is equipped to investigate improved methods for producing energy from brown coal through: coal drying; coal gasification; production of concentrated CO2 streams; and simultaneous capture of CO2 and production of hydrogen.
Future Control Room
The Future Control Room (FCR) is a co-creation between the Monash Energy Institute, Grid Innovation Hub (GIH), the Faculty of IT, the Faculty of Engineering, and MIVP.
Monash Centre for Electron Microscopy (MCEM)
MCEM provides a world-leading suite of advanced electron microscopy techniques that can determine the composition, structure and bonding of materials down to the atomic scale. Such facilities underpin the development of new energy materials and devices.
Monash Centre for Additive Manufacturing (MCAM)
MCAM has world-leading expertise in all the light metals and houses the world’s latest equipment for 3D printing of components from metallic powders.
