Millers Creek 5720, South Australia. Cutting diesel deliveries with hydrogen storage that holds energy for weeks without loss.
Millers Creek is classed as very remote, among the most isolated places in the country. Power here usually means a battery bank, a diesel generator and fuel trucked in from a long way off.
Cheap power splits water into hydrogen. The hydrogen waits in a tank. When the lines go down in Millers Creek, 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 Millers Creek 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 very remote South Australia properties like those around Millers Creek 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.
