There’s a rush on to capture the sun with mirrors. Fields, deserts, and areas the size of capital cities, are being covered in big shiny heliostats, and sunlight focussed on […]

An Australian company has successfully demonstrated its green H2 production tech prototype. Sparc Hydrogen has announced the successful testing of its prototype photocatalytic water-splitting reactor, a water-splitting green hydrogen tech […]

Transmission lines have fallout. Battery farms are expensive. Repeating Snowy II is out of the question.  But there is a simple solution to generating and storing sustainable energy for overnight […]

The future of sustainable energy in Australia lies in finding cost-effective solutions to generate and store electricity overnight. The need for reliable energy sources in rural areas and the impending […]

They heated ceramic particles to a blistering 1450 F by dropping them through a beam of concentrated sunlight. A breakthrough at a concentrated solar power facility in Australia could help […]

Australia’s science agency CSIRO announced that its Concentrated Solar Power research facility in Newcastle, New South Wales had a breakthrough as part of research investigating the potential of “falling ceramic […]

Breakthrough solar thermal research is using ceramic particles that act like a battery, storing solar energy as heat. Concentrated solar thermal (CST) with ceramic particles offer a reliable, renewable power […]

Tests are underway on a cutting edge renewable hydrogen technology that is being backed by iron-ore billionaire Andrew Forrest to deliver a cheaper and more scalable way to produce the […]

The region requires a lot of reliable and affordable energy storage, from batteries and other sources, not just because it must push hard to hit its climate goals but also […]

Australia’s transition to renewables is gathering speed, but there’s a looming problem with storage. We will need much more long-duration storage to get us through the night, once coal and […]
