Innovative research on the role of gas infrastructure in the energy transition.
GIRA is committed to advancing research for a clean energy future.
Who We Are
Gas Infrastructure Research Australia (GIRA) is a for-purpose scientific institution which has been established to conduct collaborative research to understand and adapt the role of gas infrastructure in Australia’s transition to a clean energy future. Its work aims to enable safe and efficient delivery of fuels and other gases and liquids in a net-zero emissions future, such as hydrogen, biomethane, natural gas and carbon dioxide.
GIRA will:
- a) establish a collaborative research centre for world-class research and training,
- b) promote coordinated research and education for the benefit of its members,
- c) inform guidelines and standards through scientific research,
- d) offer education for students and professionals working in related industries, and
- e) ensure research outcomes benefit Australian industry, environment and economy.
Our Research
Our aim is to create a collaborative research centre with the capability of pursuing world class research and training relevant to gas infrastructure. The scope of research extends from high pressure transmission pipelines (which move large quantities of gas and other fluids over long distances across Australia) to the lower pressure distribution networks (which service industrial, commercial and residential end-users), along with the facilities and systems which accompany these assets. GIRA’s research program is divided into the following three areas:
Our Partners
Gas Infrastructure Research Australia (GIRA) is an industry-led research organisation which was initiated as a collaboration between the Australian Pipelines and Gas Association (APGA) and Energy Networks Australia (ENA). Our Industry Foundation Members are Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG), APA Group and Jemena.
