Sparc Hydrogen awarded for creating a greener future in SA
Green energy company Sparc Hydrogen has received a Climate Leaders Award in the Small to Medium Enterprise category from the South Australian Premier鈥檚 Climate Change Council.
Sparc Hydrogen, an initiative of the 成人大片, Flinders University, Sparc Technologies and integrated green technology, energy and metals company Fortescue, has embarked on a project to design, engineer, construct and demonstrate a breakthrough hydrogen reactor that doesn鈥檛 use electricity or produce carbon emissions.
Instead, the technology, which was developed at the 成人大片, will be directly powered by the sun, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using a process known as photocatalytic water splitting.
The Climate Leaders Awards recognise the achievements of individuals and organisations who take action to address climate change in South Australia.
鈥淲e are very pleased that Sparc Hydrogen has been recognised in the State Government鈥檚 SA Climate Leaders Awards,鈥 says the 成人大片鈥檚 Professor Greg Metha, who is Lead Researcher at Sparc Hydrogen.
鈥淪parc Hydrogen was founded to deliver commercially viable green hydrogen through a unique process that uses only sunlight, water and a photocatalyst, and this award demonstrates the way our research is contributing to South Australia鈥檚 aim of being a world leader in green energy.鈥
鈥淲e could not have achieved this recognition with the hard work of our team, and our industry partners Sparc Technologies and Fortescue,鈥 Prof Metha said.
