Australian startup Hysata, which says it has developed the world’s most efficient electrolyzer, has raised A$42.5 million ($29.4 million) in an oversubscribed Series A funding round. The money will be used to develop the company’s team and “develop a pilot manufacturing facility” for the innovative “capillary” technology, which it says will be able to deliver “the world’s lowest-cost green hydrogen” due to its superior efficiency. . In simple terms, the biggest element of the levelised cost of green hydrogen (LCOH) is the cost of renewable electricity used, so that less power is required for the electrolyzer to produce every kilogram of H 2 the lower the LCOH. Hysata says the capillary-fed electrolyzer (CFE) only requires 41.5 kWh of electricity per kg of hydrogen. The industry benchmark for highly efficient electrolyzers is 50kWh/kg. “Hysata’s electrolyzers operate at 95% system efficiency (41.5 kWh/kg), delivering a huge ...

Recent extreme weather events have underscored the need to reduce CO₂ emissions that increase global temperatures. This requires a rapid transition from an energy economy to renewable energy sources, the cheapest of which is solar photovoltaic (PV). And our recently published research shows how we can lower shift costs even further using a cheaper form of silicon for highly efficient solar panels. Australia has taken the lead with solar PV installations, but our solar energy journey has only just begun. This year, humanity reached the milestone of 1 terawatt (TW) – 1 million × 1 million watts – installed solar capacity. However, experts predict 70TW of solar PV may be needed by 2050 to power all sectors of the economy. To help drive this rapid uptake of solar PV, we need solar panels with high efficiency and low cost. Over the past ten years, several new solar cell designs have resulted in record high efficiency. The problem is that this design also requires higher quality materi...

When the housing market is booming in WA, there’s nothing quite like haggling. Fortunately, while Perth’s median home price hovers at $527,000, there is still area for the savvy home hunter to find on the property ladder. Some suburbs even have an average home price of less than $300,000, giving buyers willing to venture outside around the CBD. Your local newspaper, whenever you want. Here are the Perth suburbs with the lowest median house prices for the 2021-22 financial year. Armadale Armadale has cemented its status as a bargain hunter’s paradise, as the cheapest suburb to buy a home in Perth. Residents face a 37km journey down the Kwinana Freeway from the Perth CBD but they can also enjoy an average home price of just $289,000. Last financial year, 378 people bought suburban homes, mainly first-time homebuyers and investors. Medina Another southern suburb, Medina is one of only two areas in Perth where buyers can still buy a home for an average of less than $300,00...
