HydGene Renewables is progressing in our efforts to develop sustainable hydrogen and ammonia production, ensuring Australian farmers have access to a reliable, local, low-emission solutions. As part of ‘Project Koala’, a UK-Australian partnership, we recently hosted our partners from the UK - Nium - at our Lane Cove Hydrogen production facility and also visited Stuart Tait’s farm to advance discussions for on-site production. Project Koala is an initiative supported by the Australian and UK governments.
Over February, we welcomed both Hannah van Niekerk (Lead Process Engineer) and Dr. Kerry McLaughlin (Grants Program Manager) from Nium to our facilities in Lane Cove, where they worked alongside our engineering team on key technical aspects ahead of integration of their ammonia catalyst with our hydrogen production facility. This partnership funded under the focuses on enabling decentralised ammonia production from agricultural waste, securing a sovereign supply chain and supporting more sustainable farming practices.
As we continue to assess real-world deployment opportunities, our CEO Louise and CCO Natalie, with Kerry and Hannah from Nium, joined Stuart Tait at his property in southern NSW. Stuart operates a mixed farming system and provided valuable insights into the challenges faced by Australian farmers regarding reliable fertiliser supply and high price volatility.
In parallel, HydGene Renewables was represented at EvokeAg, where Natalie connected with producers and industry stakeholders to discuss our novel manufacturing method for green hydrogen and ammonia. Events like these are important for ensuring Australian investment and aligning new technologies with real-world needs.
Working with these key partners across industry and ag, we are focused on providing practical solutions that support both sustainability and economic resilience in agriculture.
