Sparc Hydrogen, based in South Australia, has partnered with Shinshu University in Japan to advance the development of pilot testing for producing green hydrogen from water using concentrated solar. The collaboration aims to utilize Sparc's photocatalytic water splitting technology as a cost-effective and flexible alternative to traditional electrolysis. Sparc has achieved significant milestones, including securing a location for the pilot plant at the University of Adelaide and progressing detailed design and engineering. The partnership with Shinshu University allows for the use of their photocatalysts in Sparc's reactors, enhancing the efficiency of hydrogen production. Sparc's recent prototype testing at the CSIRO Energy Centre in New South Wales has provided confidence in the design principles for the pilot-scale reactor. By leveraging international partnerships and local manufacturing capabilities, Sparc is making substantial progress in the field of green hydrogen production.
