Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) and Montana Technologies recently announced a milestone collaboration with the development of CIC’s renewable hydrogen production modules. The partnership is a strategic move towards the development and manufacture of these modules in Australia, with prospects for future global expansion.
Montana Technologies, in collaboration with GE Vernova, has been commercializing the AirJoule® atmospheric water generators. These innovative devices are designed to extract water from both humid and arid atmospheres, making them adaptable to a wide range of environments. The integration of this technology into CIC’s renewable hydrogen production modules is expected to significantly enhance their effectiveness and efficiency.
The renewable hydrogen production units developed by CIC are uniquely designed to be entirely off-grid. These units comprise of solar panels, atmospheric water generators, electrolysers, and supporting infrastructure, marking a significant stride in renewable energy technology.
The primary goal of this collaboration is to revolutionize hydrogen production. The partnership aims to make hydrogen production affordable and accessible in various locations around the world, contributing to solutions for the ongoing climate crisis.
CIC anticipates that the incorporation of Montana Technologies’ AirJoule® atmospheric water generators will allow its hydrogen production units to produce hydrogen at a cost of $2 per kilogram in sunny regions. This cost-effective production is expected to make hydrogen a more accessible and viable energy source for many.
Looking ahead, CIC has ambitious plans to develop two 10GW renewable hydrogen projects in central Australia. These projects will utilize its proprietary technology and integrated AirJoule® atmospheric water generators from Montana Technologies. Following the completion of these projects, CIC plans to initiate subsequent projects around the world, further expanding its global footprint.
The strategic partnership between Montana Technologies and CIC aims to contribute significantly to combating climate change. By optimizing renewable hydrogen production modules with AirJoule® technology, this collaboration is set to make a substantial impact on renewable energy production, making it a key player in the fight against climate change.
