Australian developer moves ahead with modular green hydrogen production plant
In Australia, pv magazine Australia reported that InterContinental Energy (ICE) announced it has secured up to $1.14 million in federal government funding to develop a digital twin for its P2(H2)Node (power to hydrogen node) that is designed to provide standardized architecture for large-scale green hydrogen production projects.
The Perth-based company said it has also signed the first license for the modular system architecture, which will see the node deployed on an as-yet unidentified “large-scale renewable hydrogen project.”
While ICE did not identify the license holder, the company’s head of engineering and innovation, Richard Colwell, said the agreement will provide an early reference case for the P2(H2)Node, paving the way for further agreements with developers globally, according to the report.
“This first license is a significant milestone, moving the node from concept to deployment,” he said. “We expect it to serve as a model for future licenses, enabling developers to use a proven, optimized design rather than starting from scratch.”
The patented P2(H2)Node system is engineered to directly integrate giga-scale hydrogen production with large-scale solar and wind farms, eliminating long-distance transmission, cutting costs and boosting efficiency, according to the report.
