Sparc hits production milestone at hydrogen pilot plant in Australia

Sparc Hydrogen, a joint venture involving Sparc Technologies, Fortescue, and the University of Adelaide, has successfully achieved sustained hydrogen generation at its pilot plant in South Australia using a photocatalytic water-splitting process powered by concentrated solar energy. This breakthrough technology eliminates the need for electrolyzers or electricity, positioning Sparc Hydrogen as a leader in direct solar-to-hydrogen production. The company aims to further optimize its technology for scalability and commercialization, with the potential to unlock low-cost green hydrogen production. With the global green hydrogen market projected to reach $1.4 trillion per year by 2050, this innovation could play a significant role in advancing climate solutions.
