Hysata was spun off from the University of Wollongong in Australia
Hysata develops 98pc efficient electrolysis
New technology to be commercialised by firm promises reduced capex and opex compared with conventional water electrolysers
A new electrolysis technology being developed in Australia can produce hydrogen at 98pc efficiency, potentially enabling a green hydrogen production cost well below A$2/kg ($1.50/kg), according to a peer-reviewed study in science journal Nature. The technology was invented by scientists at the University of Wollongong and is being commercialised by technology firm Hysata, with backing from intellectual property company IP Group and finance body the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC). “High energy efficiency, combined with the promise of a simplified balance-of-plant, brings cost-competitive renewable hydrogen closer to reality,” says the study.
