This announcement put a rocket under Sparc earlier this month. It is clearly good news for FMG as well.
Good details on the value of this process in the announcement.
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
7 January 2025
Sparc, Fortescue and University of Adelaide Commit to Stage 2 Pilot Plant
HIGHLIGHTS
• Sparc Technologies, Fortescue and University of Adelaide formally commit to proceed to Stage 2 of the Sparc Hydrogen joint venture
• Novel reactor technology employs a photocatalyst material and sunlight to produce green hydrogen directly from water without electrolysers
• Stage 2 is focused on construction and testing a first-of-its-kind pilot plant supporting ongoing reactor development and scale-up
• Front-end engineering and design (FEED) for the pilot plant is complete and construction is expected to commence early in 2025
Sparc Technologies Limited (ASX: SPN) (Sparc, Sparc Technologies or the Company) is pleased to announce that Sparc Technologies, Fortescue Limited (ASX:FMG) (Fortescue) and the University of Adelaide (UoA) will proceed to Stage 2 of the Sparc Hydrogen joint venture. The decision to proceed to Stage 2 reflects several key milestones achieved over recent months and is a strong endorsement of the potential of Sparc Hydrogen’s novel technology to unlock low-cost green hydrogen via photocatalytic water splitting (PWS).
Stage 2 activities are focused on pilot plant construction and reactor testing along with ongoing laboratory testing of PWS reactors under a range of conditions. Sparc Hydrogen believes that the pilot plant will represent a globally leading facility for R&D and commercialisation of PWS reinforcing Sparc Hydrogen’s first mover position in this emerging direct solar to hydrogen technology.
