Innovative energy technology developer Sparc Hydrogen is to test its catalyst process for producing green hydrogen at the CSIRO Energy Centre in Newcastle, New South Wales. Sparc Hydrogen, a joint venture between Sparc Technologies, Fortescue Future Industries and the University of Adelaide, will conduct on sun testing of its photocatalytic water splitting reactor following an…
LINE Hydrogen has received development approval for Tasmania’s first green hydrogen production, storage and distribution facility. In 2022 the company executed a terms sheet with Climate Capital’s Bell Bay Solar Farm to construct up to a 5MW ground-mounted solar farm in George Town, Northern Tasmania. This will supply behind-the-meter renewable energy to Line Hydrogen’s proposed…
Countrywide Hydrogen has signed a partnering partnering with automotive engineering company Walkinshaw Automotive Group to develop hydrogen fuel cell powered trucks and prime movers for the Australian market. Countrywide, a subsidiary of ReNu Energy, is developing a number of hydrogen projects around Australia, while Walkinshaw is a leader in the design, engineering and development of…
By Peter Roberts Australia’s hopes of becoming a green hydrogen and ammonia force are a matter of production push and customer pull – will we get our act together and invest the billions needed to produce green fuels and will there be customers be willing to buy the resultant outputs? The former is a bit…
The Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) has reached financial close on its Hydrogen Park Murray Valley development in Wodonga, Victoria (pictured). This comes after more than $51 million in government support was announced for the construction and operation of a 10MW electrolyser which will be eight times larger than the biggest electrolyser currently operating in…
By Peter Roberts The Clean Energy Finance Corporation – which styles itself as Australia’s green bank – is to receive $20.5 billion in new capital from the federal government to accelerate progress towards net zero emissions by 2050. This acknowledgement of the success of the CEFC model comes as the corporation survived efforts to abolish…
Toulouse, France-based H3 Dynamics and Melbourne-based electric aviation motor manufacturer Kite Magnetics have joined forces to develop cutting-edge hydrogen-electric propulsion system for the aviation sector. The collaboration aims to support aircraft manufacturers in adopting new green hydrogen and electric technologies and accelerating the development of advanced aero-compliant systems. Founder and CEO of Kite Magnetics Dr…
Western Australia has joined South Australia in ambitions to create a green steel manufacturing capability, with the release of a new report by the Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA). The Western Australia’s Green Steel Opportunity report maps five ways WA iron ore can be used to reduce emissions from steelmaking: Green iron ore…
The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) has backed HydGene Renewables which has developed an alternative green hydrogen solution that turns biomass into hydrogen in a process that is both renewable and carbon negative. The HydGene technique uses novel biocatalysts to convert the sugars derived from organic waste, including agricultural waste, into valuable products like hydrogen.…
Fortescue Metals Group has opened the way for the export of green hydrogen and iron ore to the world’s largest steel producer, helping to reduce emissions across iron and steel making. Fortescue, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China Baowu Steel Group Corporation to work together on reducing emissions associated with iron…
