(The following is an article that was posted on Wednesday 20 August 2025 on themelancholicseeker.wordpress.com. Please note that the information contained is dated and may not be accurate.) A Western Australian company hopes to prove the economic viability of hydrogen on an industrial scale with the official opening of its pilot plant in Kwinana, located south of Perth, on Monday. Carbon280 CEO Mark Rheinlander said the A$16 million facility will address a significant bottleneck in the hydrogen supply chain – namely the need to make hydrogen, a volatile element – safe enough to store at ambient temperature and pressure, which in turn makes it easier to transport. “Rather than transporting a highly flammable gas you are storing and transporting a safe, low-cost liquid that stores hydrogen under ambient conditions,” he said. “Low-cost and ease of handling will simplify and speed (up) the implementation of hydrogen projects globally, enabling hydrogen use in applications and geographies w...
