Carbon280 pilots ‘gamechanging’ tech for natural hydrogen
Woodside Energy among backers of Australian firm’s Hydrilyte separation and storage technology
Australian company Carbon280 has launched a pilot project to demonstrate a new liquid storage solution that it says has the potential to be a “gamechanger” for the emerging natural hydrogen sector. The firm’s Hydrilyte technology is capable of separating hydrogen from helium, allowing the hydrogen to be stored under ambient conditions, ready for transportation to end-users. Natural hydrogen occurs mixed with other gases that need to be separated. Helium is one of these gases and very hard to separate from hydrogen because of their similar molecular size. Hydrilyte’s ability to separate and store in a single step, “facilitates the monetisation of both hydrogen and helium for natural hydroge
