HAMR Energy secures $22.4 million for green hydrogen renewable fuels
In the UK, low-carbon liquid fuels (LCLF) company HAMR Energy has received $22.4 million in conditional funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to advance its projects that will transform Australian plantation forestry residues and renewable energy into sustainable aviation fuel.
The report noted that the commitment is the first investment under the Australian Government’s Low Carbon Liquid Fuels priority, administered by ARENA through the Future Made in Australia Innovation Fund.
Spanning South Australia and Victoria, the projects are anchored by Australia’s first large-scale methanol-to-jet SAF refinery in Port Adelaide, the report added.
At full scale, HAMR Energy’s projects have the potential to process approximately 600,000 tons of plantation forestry residues each year to produce around 300,000 tons of low-carbon methanol. The Port Adelaide refinery would convert that methanol into approximately 140 million liters of SAF annually, alongside renewable diesel and other low carbon fuels.
