TIRAT CARMEL, Israel, 6-Nov-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Pilot Energy Limited and Electriq Global Limited have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the deployment of Electriq’s proprietary hydrogen powder technology—Electriq Powder and Electriq Release—in off-grid areas of Western Australia, specifically targeting the Mid-West and Gascoyne regions. Electriq Global, an innovator in solid hydrogen carriers, has developed these technologies to enable efficient hydrogen storage, transport, and power generation in ambient, non-pressurized conditions, marking a transformative advancement in energy solutions.

Through this collaboration, Pilot and Electriq aim to evaluate how Electriq’s technologies can facilitate hydrogen transport, storage, and power generation for off-grid energy users in Western Australia, leveraging clean hydrogen produced by Pilot’s Mid-West Clean Energy Project. This partnership opens up new possibilities for distributing Pilot’s hydrogen production to a broader domestic market.

Pilot’s Chairman, Brad Lingo, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, describing Electriq’s hydrogen powder solution as “a perfect fit” for addressing the energy needs of remote, off-grid users. “Our Mid-West Clean Energy Project is ideally positioned to supply clean hydrogen to these regions, and Electriq’s technology greatly enhances the efficiency and accessibility of hydrogen storage and delivery,” Lingo said.

Baruch Halpert, CEO of Electriq Global, noted the synergy between the companies’ goals, emphasizing the potential for Electriq Powder to support low-carbon hydrogen initiatives. “This collaboration offers a unique chance to partner with like-minded innovators to advance the energy transition across Australia,” Halpert remarked.
