Lake Cowal 2671, New South Wales. Replacing the diesel generator with quiet hydrogen power that stores energy for weeks.
Lake Cowal is classed as remote. Many properties out here make their own power with a battery bank and a diesel generator, and every fuel run is a long drive.
Cheap power splits water into hydrogen. The hydrogen waits in a tank. When the lines go down in Lake Cowal, a fuel cell turns it back into electricity and water, and the water goes round again.
How it works →Yes, that is what it is designed for. A Lake Cowal home charges the unit from cheap off-peak power, or from wind or micro-hydro where there is no grid, and runs on stored hydrogen when the power goes. 15 kW continuous covers an average home.
Days rather than hours. A battery handles the first moments of an outage, then the fuel cell runs the house on stored hydrogen, which does not lose charge while it waits.
It is in early development. Pilot installs go to people on the pilot list first, and remote New South Wales properties like those around Lake Cowal are exactly who the pilot is for.
Pilot installs go to people on this list first. Rural homes, farms and remote sites especially. No spam, no payment.
