Sparc achieves production milestone at hydrogen pilot plant - PV Magazine

Sparc Hydrogen, a joint venture involving Sparc Technologies, Fortescue, and the University of Adelaide, says it has achieved “sustained” hydrogen generation at its pilot photocatalytic water-splitting plant in South Australia.

The facility, located at the University of Adelaide’s Roseworthy campus, uses a photocatalytic water-splitting (PWS) process that employs photocatalyst materials supplied by Shinshu University in Japan and sunlight to produce green hydrogen directly from water, eliminating the need for electrolysers or electricity. Sunlight is the plant’s sole energy input, delivering emissions-free hydrogen and industrial heat while using commercially available, scalable concentrated solar equipment.
