ARENA has pledged up to A$32 million to HAMR Energy’s biomass-to-fuel chain that combines forestry residues and green hydrogen. The project will yield 300,000 t of renewable methanol and 140 million L of SAF annually, marking a milestone in hydrogen production and infrastructure.
Australia’s federal clean energy agency is putting its money where its mouth is, committing up to A$32 million to HAMR Energy Pty Ltd. This investment is all about pushing forward a groundbreaking biomass-to-fuel supply chain in the Green Triangle region. With this funding, the project can dive deeper into the engineering details for a vertically integrated system. The idea is to make the most of plantation forestry residues while also ramping up large-scale green hydrogen production using a massive 200 MW+ electrolyser. In the long run, the goal is to roll out low-carbon renewable methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)…
