Cue 6640, Western Australia. Cutting diesel deliveries with hydrogen storage that holds energy for weeks without loss.
Cue 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 Cue, 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 Cue 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 Western Australia properties like those around Cue 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.
