<p>Sparc Hydrogen, an initiative of the University of Adelaide, Flinders University, Sparc Technologies and integrated green technology, energy and metals company Fortescue, has embarked on a project to design, engineer, construct and demonstrate a breakthrough hydrogen reactor that doesn’t use electricity or produce carbon emissions.</p> <p>Instead, the technology, which was developed at the University of Adelaide, will be directly powered by the sun, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using a process known as photocatalytic water splitting.</p> <p>The Climate Leaders Awards recognise the achievements of individuals and organisations who take action to address climate change in South Australia.</p> <p>“We are very pleased that Sparc Hydrogen has been recognised in the State Government’s SA Climate Leaders Awards,” says the University of Adelaide’s Professor Greg Metha, who is Lead Researcher at Sparc Hydrogen.</p> <p>“Sparc Hydrogen was founded to deliver commercially viable green hydrogen through a unique process that uses only sunlight, water and a photocatalyst, and this award demonstrates the way our research is contributing to South Australia’s aim of being a world leader in green energy.”</p> <p>“We could not have achieved this recognition with the hard work of our team, and our industry partners Sparc Technologies and Fortescue,” Prof Metha said.</p> <p><a href="https://set.adelaide.edu.au/news/list/2024/08/19/sparc-hydrogen-awarded-for-creating-a-greener-future-in-sa">First published</a> on Aug 19, 2024, by the Faculty of Science,
