Australian clean energy storage startup Endua launches today an ambitious plan to manufacture hydrogen-powered energy storage systems to deliver sustainable, reliable and affordable power. Backed by $5 million from CSIRO’s venture division Main Sequence and Ampol, Endua will build modular hydrogen power banks that can drive power loads of up to 150kW in a single…
Graphene technology company Sparc Technologies is to have its products tested in site trials for the adsorption of potentially hazardous per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The company has signed a memorandum of understanding with environmental remediation company JBS&G to jointly develop and operate a pilot plant testing PFAS adsorption from contaminated ground water and their…
Marine transport solutions provider Global Energy Ventures has begun development of a pilot scale compressed hydrogen (C-H2) ship with a cargo capacity of 430 tonnes of hydrogen, a move bringing the export of green hydrogen to Asia as a replacement for polluting LNG a step closer. The 430 tonne ship will be a scaled down…
Oil and gas developer Lion Energy has made good on its promise to explore green hydrogen development with a memorandum of understanding focused on developing green hydrogen in Brisbane and Toowomba in Queensland. The company and Wagner Corporation have signed the MoU to explore green hydrogen infrastructure at Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport Business Park and Pikenba…
Individuals and businesses accessing stand-alone subjects, or bundles of subjects that do not form a nationally recognised course, make up the single largest segment of enrolments in vocational education and training (VET) in Australia, according to new research. New analysis of short-course training in VET, often referred to as micro-credentials, by the National Centre for…
The Australian Missile Corporation (AMC) has emerged as a second fully indigenous bidder for a share of one billion dollars in funding available from the federal government to establish a sovereign missile capability. AMC, part of the NIOA munitions and explosives group, announced the signing of the first partners to the AMC collaboration – composites…
The UNSW Canberra Space M2 cubesat mission has taken a significant step on a path to developing intelligent, networked satellite constellation technologies. Last week the satellite successfully performed on-board artificial intelligence inferencing by correctly recognising hand-written characters on pre-loaded images. The experiment, an Australian first in space, tested the functionality of the AI environment and…
Reduced-emission technology company Environmental Clean Technologies has signed a five year deal for the supply of lignite from deposits at Yallourn in Victoria to supply its Coldry ‘low and zero emission’ char project. The deal will involve the recommissioning of lignite delivery infrastructure including the outfeed conveyor at the former Yallourn power station (pictured) to…
Brisbane-based biotech company Vaxxas has announced evidence their delivery patches show potential in administering Covid-19 vaccine. Preclinical research published on preprint repository BioRxiv showed “significantly enhanced T-cell and spike-specific antibody responses” versus needle-and-syringe delivery in an animal model, and “complete protection from COVID-19 by a single dose skin patch” in a relevant COVID-19 animal model. …
Australia’s abundant and cheap wind and solar resources mean we’re well placed to produce the hydrogen a green steel industry needs. So let’s take a look at how green steel is made, and the challenges ahead.
