Pearl GTL, Ras Laffan Qatar As pressure builds across global supply chains, attention is starting to shift from individual disruptions to the underlying systems that drive them. The global chemical industry — worth over $4 trillion annually — is still built on a model developed more than a century ago. That model has been incredibly effective. It enabled scale, reduced costs, and supported the growth of modern industry. But it also locked production into a centralised structu

As geopolitical instability reshapes global supply chains, one crisis is quietly building that most people haven't connected to their daily lives yet: fertiliser. Australia imports nearly 100% of its nitrogen fertiliser. Much of it flows through some of the world's most unstable regions. And fertiliser prices are directly tied to natural gas markets — meaning every energy shock eventually shows up on your plate. HydGene Head of Engineering Peter Meek has launched a new series

HydGene Renewables participated in Sydney Water's 2026 Infrastructure Pipeline and Supply Chain Expo in March, as part of the sustainability start-ups showcase. CSO Robert Willows & Head of Engineering Peter Meek represented HydGene on the day, connecting with water infrastructure operators, suppliers and industry partners to explore how our biocatalyst technology can integrate with wastewater treatment infrastructure. HydGene's technology converts biosolids and organic was

HydGene Renewables has been awarded $2 million from the NSW Government's Biosciences Fund (BioSF) - the largest individual grant in the latest round. The funding will accelerate the scale-up of HydGene's proprietary biocatalyst manufacturing, a critical step toward commercial deployment of its green hydrogen technology. The grant was announced by NSW Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology Anoulack Chanthivong at an event at Greenhouse, Sydney's climate tech hub on 5

HydGene Renewables has achieved a significant milestone in the development of its biological hydrogen production platform, demonstrating continuous hydrogen production from agricultural waste at pilot scale. The milestone was achieved through the Australia–UK Renewable Hydrogen Innovation Partnership (AUKRHIP) and represents an important step toward decentralised ammonia production, where fertiliser can be produced locally from agricultural residues at the point of use. Demo

HydGene Renewables participated in this year’s Asia-Pacific Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition , joining industry, government and investors from across the region to discuss what it will really take to scale renewable hydrogen. Across the week, the HydGene team showcased our technology and perspective on hydrogen scale-up, from on-site production using waste biomass, to the realities of moving beyond pilots and into repeatable commercial deployment. Showcasing Australian hydrogen i

HydGene Renewables was recognised among the Top 18 global finalists — and Top 3 in the Climate Tech category — at the SVG Ventures | THRIVE Global Impact Challenge , held in Silicon Valley, California in October. The summit brought together more than 400 global leaders and innovators from across the agri-food ecosystem for a week of collaboration, innovation, and connection. With 35 expert speakers and 18 Global Impact Challenge finalists, the event highlighted technologies s

HydGene’s Chief Scientific Officer, Professor Robert Willows, has published a new article in the OGEL Energy Law Journal (Vol. 23, Issue 3), exploring the role bio-hydrogen can play in decarbonising today’s hydrogen supply. Titled “Unleashing the Potential of Bio-hydrogen in the Energy Transition” , the article examines a central challenge facing the energy transition: while hydrogen demand continues to grow, more than 99% of hydrogen is still produced from fossil fuels, cont
