In Australia, Energy Estate, Eurus Energy, and Hunter Hydrogen Network (H2N) have announced that they have signed a Heads of Agreement with BioChem USA, Inc, a subsidiary of Petron Scientech, Inc, a US leader in the development of advanced biorefinery technologies, to jointly develop Hunter NuBio, a large-scale and integrated animal feed nutrients and biorefinery project in the Port of Newcastle, New South Wales (NSW).
猎人NuBio将生产高档蛋白质,高-value animal feed supplements for domestic and export markets and process the waste sugars and starches into a range of other much-needed sustainable products including bioethanol, e-methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Petron Scientech (PSI) is a recognized leader in renewable green chemical initiatives and has a global track record of delivering projects in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Africa.
Through its BioChem USA subsidiary, Petron develops high protein nutrient products and biorefineries that efficiently use 100 percent of their feedstock inputs within their closed-loop process, benefitting from Petron’s unique portfolio of intellectual property and innovative and circular approach.
Petron’s flexible technology allows the use of a diversified range of sustainable plant-based feedstocks.
Australia is a key target market for us. Locating our first project in the Hunter region makes perfect sense as we can benefit from the excellent rail and port infrastructure and deliver our sustainable products more efficiently to our customers. We had the pleasure of visiting the Port of Newcastle earlier this year and we are excited about the opportunity to develop a large-scale nutrient and biorefinery project on an accelerated timescale, leveraging off the strong support from Government and local stakeholders and focusing on the Towards Net Zero Mission, said Yogi Sarin, CEO of Petron Scientech.
Agreement with the Port of Newcastle
Eurus Energy, Energy Estate, and H2N also recently announced that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Port of Newcastle to support the development of the Clean Energy Precinct.
The partnership with Petron to co-develop Hunter NuBio confirms the scale and immediacy of the opportunities to deliver a green hydrogen industry in the Hunter region. As Japan’s leading renewable energy developer we are proud to be participating in a landmark project of this nature with a leading global player, commented Yoshiki Ohkubo, Manager of Eurus Energy.
H2N to supply green hydrogen
猎人NuBio项目将德veloped in a location in the wider port precinct to complement the Clean Energy Precinct.
The Hunter NuBio project will help achieve the Port’s goal that the Hunter region forms part of a domestic and global collective, all pursuing a common goal of producing and transporting sustainable energy.
Bioenergy is a key focus for Energy Estate. Partnering with Petron will allow H2N to provide green hydrogen to the biorefinery and create sustainable biofuels for the domestic and global shipping and aviation industries, remarked Simon Currie, Chief Projects Officer of Energy Estate.
