Australia Green Hydrogen Pilot Plant Construction Begins

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Sparc Hydrogen Pty Ltd (Kent Town, South Australia) has started construction of a one-of-a-kind green hydrogen pilot plant at the University of Adelaide's Roseworthy Campus in South Australia.

Sparc Hydrogen will utilize photocatalytic water splitting (PWS) technology that relies directly on sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using a specialized photocatalyst without the need for electrolysers. The pilot plant aims to evaluate and scale up PWS technology to potentially offer lower-cost and scalable infrastructure for green hydrogen production over traditional electrolysis technologies.

The project is backed by hydrogen heavyweight partners including Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) (East Perth, Australia), Shinshu University, University of Adelaide and Incitias Pty Ltd (Victoria, Australia) (front end engineering design and engineering, procurement, and construction management services.)
