Clever alternative for remote consumption locations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Endua has partnered with Phoenix Contact to enhance its modular hydrogen energy storage system. Using PLCnext Control<\/a> with integrated safety, the Australian start-up boosts efficiency, cuts costs, and ensures a safe working environment.<\/p>\n\n\n

With support from CSIRO, Ampol and Main Sequence, its clean and reliable solution enables multi day storage from renewable sources, even during periods of low sunlight and wind, offering a more sustainable alternative to diesel generators.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Endua\u2019s modular power bank uses hydrogen electrolysis powered by renewable energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Stored hydrogen powers fuel cells on demand, enabling multi day energy storage that outperforms typical lithium ion batteries, which are limited to shorter durations. Endua was founded in 2021 to commercialize CSIRO’s PEM electrolysis research, according to Tim Latimer, Head of Growth and Business Development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-sufficient hydrogen system for storing energy over several days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the World Economic Forum, 85 percent of hydrogen costs come from storage, compression and transportation, raising concerns about its economic viability. To reduce costs, large hydrogen production should be near the industries that consume it. Latimer explains that infrastructure costs are a major challenge, especially for smaller users facing high transport expenses. A self-sufficient system that allows on-site hydrogen production, storage and use is a practical solution. In specific cases, hydrogen is already competing with lithium-ion batteries and fossil fuels. For energy storage lasting days to weeks, the cost per kilowatt hour in a power bank is more favourable than lithium batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
