South East Water and RMIT University have been awarded the 2024 Water Minister’s Climate Innovation Challenge for their pioneering green hydrogen technology. The project utilizes a floating modular platform to transform solar energy and recycled water into green hydrogen, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide. This innovation aims to address climate challenges by cutting carbon emissions, solving energy issues, and improving water quality. Lara Olsen from South East Water emphasized the project's role in achieving net-zero goals. Dr. Li Gao highlighted the importance of industry-academia collaboration in translating research into impactful solutions. With funding from various sources, including the Victorian Government, the project plans to develop a small-scale prototype for demonstrating the technology's potential. The scalable hydrogen production system can be used in reservoirs and lagoons. The initiative, in its second year, encourages innovation in the water sector to tackle climate-related issues. South East Water and RMIT University aim to refine the technology for broader implementation across Victorian water utilities.
