The partnership is aimed at creating carbon-neutral energy from Australian R&D and renewable resources.
At the heart of the technology is the ability to extract pure water from air, then using electrolysis – an electrical current generated from solar panels split the pure water into hydrogen and oxygen before storing hydrogen as a gas which can be used to power vehicles.
The partnership is developing manufacturing capability across other renewable fuels including green methane which is made by combining hydrogen with carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Easily transported in existing gas pipeline infrastructure, green methane can be used as a renewable form of natural gas or converted back to hydrogen at the point of use.
Southern Green Gas is supported by its technology partners – specialty gas supplier Coregas, electrolyster manufacturer, Enapter and gas technology company Haskel.
The project is kindly supported by ARENA and the NSW Government.
