Study Abroad: Monash University, Indonesia Introduces Australia Exchange Program

Monash University, Indonesia has launched the Australia Exchange Program with the Monash University campus in Australia.

Monash University, Indonesia announced its groundbreaking Australia Exchange Program. It will offer an opportunity for master's students to get an education across two prestigious campuses. Under this program, the students will spend one and one-half years at the university campus in Indonesia and six months at the Monash University campus in Australia.

Benefits of Monash Australia Exchange Program

There are multiple benefits including that students will get educational experience at Monash University Australia to get a global perspective, there will be no additional tuition fees, and they will get specialized units, world-class education, state-of-the-art research facilities and enhanced employability due to international exposure.

Currently, applications are open for Monash University, Indonesia Australia Exchange Program. Those who are actively enrolled for the program, completed a minimum of 24 credit points at the university and has a minimum Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of 60%, can apply.

Monash University Researchers Develop Electrified Reactor To Cut Emissions By 60%

Monash University researchers have created a sustainable solution for the dry reforming of methane (DRM). They developed an electrified reactor which can reduce the emissions by 60%. It is being seen as a groundbreaking substitute for high-temperature industrial processes.

The new reactor can be used by industries like fertilizer production, chemical manufacturing, and hydrogen generation. The sustainable solution includes a high-temperature process used to make chemicals like ammonia, methanol, and synthetic fuels.

According to the research, the new reactor is a notable improvement or enhancement over traditional methods, which depend on fossil fuels.

“Instead of relying on fossil fuel combustion, industries can now power these reactions in a sustainable way, cutting both operational costs and emissions,” Professor Tanksale said.

“Our electrified reactor shows remarkable efficiency, converting 96% of methane into usable energy, surpassing the 75 per cent conversion rate of traditional methods. The compact, modular nature of this reactor allows for easy integration into existing infrastructure, enabling rapid deployment and scaling at industrial sites without major disruptions," added Professor Tanksale.

At the heart, the reactor uses 3D-printed monoliths to improve surface area for greater efficiency.

"By using 3D-printed monoliths and a precise catalyst coating technique, we were able to optimise surface area and performance, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in methane reforming technology,” Professor Tanksale said.
