Woodside Energy and 1414 Degrees Drive Innovation in Hydrogen Production
Key Ideas
  • Woodside Energy and 1414 Degrees have formalized a partnership to develop SiPHyR™ technology for hydrogen production and solid carbon using methane pyrolysis.
  • Woodside Energy is contributing $1 million in direct funding and subject matter expertise to boost the development of the SiPHyR project, emphasizing a commitment to lower-carbon energy solutions.
  • The project integrates designs from the University of Adelaide and 1414 Degrees' silicon-based thermal energy storage technology, aiming to advance SiPHyR from TRL 2 to TRL 5 within three years and to a scaled demonstration at TRL 7 within two years post completion.
  • With support from various institutions and a government grant, including experts from UoA, Woodside, Vulcan Steel, and RMIT, the project targets reducing hydrogen production costs and emissions through innovative technology integration.
Woodside Energy and 1414 Degrees have officially partnered to collaborate on the development of SiPHyR™ (SiBrick-integrated Pyrolytic Hydrogen Reactor) technology for hydrogen production and solid carbon using methane pyrolysis. Woodside Energy, by contributing $1 million in direct funding and subject matter expertise, is significantly boosting the SiPHyR project's development. This partnership highlights a collective dedication to advancing lower-carbon energy solutions. The integration of licensed designs from the University of Adelaide (UoA) with 1414 Degrees' silicon-based thermal energy storage technology, SiBrick®, will enable continuous hydrogen production from intermittent renewable electricity. The project also involves experts from UoA, Woodside, Vulcan Steel, and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), supported by a $2.5 million Australian Government grant under the Cooperative Research Centres Project. The primary goal is to elevate SiPHyR from its current Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 2 to TRL 5 within three years and to establish a detailed plan for a scaled demonstration at TRL 7 within two years post completion of the project. This strategic approach ensures the technology's readiness for commercialization, emphasizing innovation, sustainability, and cost-effective hydrogen production. The joint effort signifies a significant step forward in promoting cutting-edge solutions for a more sustainable energy future.
