Advancing the energy transition through renewable fuels
|
Southern Green Gas is a renewable energy company pioneering world-first technology aimed at creating carbon-neutral fuels; renewable methane and renewable methanol.
At its heart is the ability to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to create fuels that are not only sustainable, but also can be transported in existing infrastructure. We aim to be first to market with this pioneering technology, protected by a strong intellectual property position. The company’s approach is unique in the use of small production modules that are amenable to mass manufacture. The potential cost reduction benefits from this approach could allow a least cost transition to a low carbon vibrant economy. |

Delivering carbon neutral fuels through existing infrastructure
Renewable methane, being interchangeable with natural gas, can utilise existing infrastructure (gas pipelines, gas power stations, LNG export facilities) maximising the utilisation of this infrastructure and the markets it serves.
Our technology will harness Australia's gas pipelines as the mechanism to move renewable methane to domestic and international customers thereby ensuring a cost effective distribution model while providing a pathway to 'green' gas networks.

Establishing a major new export market
With the ability to leverage existing international liquefied natural gas supply chains, renewable methane can supply into government mandated renewable electricity markets of countries such as Japan and Korea.
As the most effective hydrogen carrier, renewable methane is also an enabler of the hydrogen economy and presents a viable pathway for its export into Asian markets and beyond.
Our unique vertically integrated model supported by partnerships with gas transmission operators will provide the pathway to capitalise upon this growing export opportunity.

Creating local manufacturing opportunities
With growing demand for carbon neutral fuels worldwide, we anticipate the market opportunity for our technology would support world scale manufacturing.
Comprising process modules based on local R&D expertise, our technology will be aggregated in the thousands utilising advanced manufacturing techniques as we create major production projects across Australia.

Renewable methane - carbon neutral natural gas
Produced by splitting water with solar energy to produce hydrogen, which is then coupled with CO₂ extracted from the atmosphere, renewable methane is a sustainable way to make carbon neutral natural gas.
Partnering with industry to realise a renewable methane sector
The potential of our technology has been recognised by leading gas company, APA Group who we are partnering with to co-develop a trial project showcasing the potential of renewable methane in a real life setting.
The project has been supported by ARENA in recognition of its alignment with the government funding agency’s focus on accelerating Australia’s hydrogen sector, in this instance, through the trial of renewable methane.
We welcome discussions with organisations interested in our technology and the market for renewable methane. Get in touch here.
