Now that’s gold Railveyor is helping Agnico Eagle Mines Limited achieve a 39 per cent reduction in the emissions of its Goldex underground gold mine in Canada by replacing diesel truck haulage with an automated all-electric system. Railveyor is supported by RCF Jolimont Mining Innovation Fund II – a private equity fund backing innovative mining equipment, technology and services companies in Australia and internationally. We have invested in the fund to help decarbonise mining.

We’re backing Australian startup SILTRAX to develop innovative #hydrogen fuel cell technology with a US$7million commitment, managed by Virescent Ventures. The exciting technology replaces metal with silicon to power heavy duty vehicles, reduce #emissions and contribute to Australia’s hydrogen roadmap. #netzero    https://lnkd.in/g7w-Wn9r

Sat down the other week with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation as part of their ‘Green Files’ series to talk about Hysata’s mission and the value of our electrolysers in decarbonising the hard to abate sectors. Much of the journey towards net-zero will be achieved with green electricity, but sectors such as steel, chemicals, high-grade industrial heat and heavy transport will need green hydrogen. The high-efficiency, intrinsically low capex and mass-manufacturable design of our electrolysers will bring Australia’s potential for green hydrogen to life, and play a critical role in our country realising the social and economic benefits of being an electrostate. The CEFC helps finance that transition and complements the strategic policy of the Australian Government's Future Made in Australia Act. The Act recognises and supports Australia’s most competitively advantaged sectors like hydrogen. We’re proud of our ongoing partnership with the CEFC and Virescent Ventures and look forward to more discussions as we progress our commercialisation!

Congratulations to Akaysha Energy, Consolidated Power Projects, Transgrid, Powin and eks Energy on completing the first stage of energisation of the Waratah Super Battery. Great to see this landmark project move towards the testing and commissioning phase. The CEFC made a $100 million commitment in 2023 to the Waratah Super Battery which is set to play a significant role in Australia’s transition to net zero emissions. https://lnkd.in/gsPVsUJ7

Australian homes aren’t climate-ready but there are solutions. Climateworks Centre, in its latest report, puts the spotlight on enabling a “renovation wave”. Our Household Energy Upgrades Fund (HEUF) is among initiatives that are helping to transform low performing homes into energy efficient, climate-ready dwellings.

VNI West has the green light for early works. We were pleased to sign an agreement with Transgrid this week that will see $140 million from the Rewiring the Nation Fund supporting VNI West progress. An essential piece of infrastructure for the transition to #netzero, VNI West will connect renewable energy zones in NSW and Victoria to the national grid. https://lnkd.in/ecYT54Wa

Why is Hysata technology a green hydrogen game changer? Our Green Files interview with Hysata CEO Paul Barrett helps explain Hysata electrolysers, their “giant leap” in efficiency and what that means for a green hydrogen future. Paul also discusses the immense potential for Australia in manufacturing green iron and steel using green #hydrogen technology.
