HydGene is expanding its biocatalyst technology into the chemical sector, partnering with the University of Newcastle to explore on-site, eco-friendly fertiliser production for farmers. This collaboration is part of HydGene's ongoing efforts to develop sustainable hydrogen solutions, with support from the Australian federal government supported TRaCE program.


HydGene’s innovative approach uses agricultural waste to produce green hydrogen, which can be converted into ammonia for fertilisers. Our CEO Dr. Louise Brown highlights the potential for farmers to take control of their fertiliser production, reducing reliance on centralised manufacturing. "This could give power back to farmers, allowing them to produce sustainable fertilisers on-site," says Dr. Brown.


The project, in collaboration with Laureate Professor Behdad Moghtaderi, a recognised expert in sustainable fuel technologies, is investigating the feasibility of transforming biomass into ammonia. The team, including Tait Agriculture, will work towards developing a pilot plant on a partner's farm.


This partnership marks a significant step towards decarbonising agriculture and bringing green hydrogen solutions to the forefront of sustainable farming.
