Bringing renewable energy to market at scale
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is the most common element on Earth. It is a colourless and odourless gas with the lowest density of all gasses.
Hydrogen has many uses, including fuel for transport or heating or as a raw material in industrial processes.
Today, Hydrogen is primarily produced using fossil fuels, which is connected to significant CO2 emissions.
What is Green Hydrogen?
Hydrogen is produced through a process called electrolysis. This process uses electricity, and when that is created from renewable energy sources with zero emissions, green hydrogen is the result.
Green hydrogen is widely acknowledged as an abundant, clean, versatile and convenient energy carrier and as a result, is now regarded as a key part of the energy transition to net zero, alongside electrification from renewable sources.
Benefits of Green Hydrogen
What we do
CLARA Energy is building renewable energy at scale.
We will use new and existing technologies to create green resources at a scale that can significantly reduce emissions.
CLARA Energy will change the way we use green energy in Australia.
We are focussing on green hydrogen and the impact it can have on decarbonising hard-to-abate industries, including:
Heavy Haulage Transport
Domestic Gas
Gas Export
