Another article - they have chosen a site for their pilot plant and now working on a FEED. That's progress.
I'm guessing the site will be on one of the many Adelaide Uni blocks scattered around the city

Sparc chooses site for photocatalytic hydrogenproduction

Technologydevelopment company Sparc Hydrogen has chosen a site for a proposed pilot plantto prove its photocatalytic process to produce green hydrogen from water.

Followingthe completion of tests at the CSIRO Energy Centre in Newcastle, NSW(pictured), Sparc Hydrogen has chosen a site close to Adelaide with consultantsset to complete a pre-FEED study for a pilot scale plant by the end of 2023.

Sparc’sprocess produces green hydrogen through the use of a thermo-photocatalyst andconcentrated solar radiation, avoiding more traditional and costlyelectrolysis.

SparcHydrogen is a joint venture with Sparc Technologies, Flinders and Adelaideuniversities and Fortescue Future Industries, the technology has the potentialto create significant energy efficiencies with low capital and operatingexpenditure.

SparcTechnologies Executive Chair Stephen Hunt told investors that the first phaseof on-sun testing of its water splitting reactor had been completed.

Keyobjectives were achieved including the advancement of the technology readinesslevel (TRL) from 4 to 5, and a number of design improvements for the reactoridentified.

Hunt said:“The data and learnings from the repeated on-sun trials are invaluable and willimprove reactor design as we continue to scale the technology towards a pilotplant.

“Completionof this test work is a significant milestone, not only for Sparc Hydrogen, butmore widely for the advancement of photocatalytic water splitting.”
