Reliable, affordable green fuel and 24/7 carbon-free energy — produced domestically, at commercial scale
Sunshine Hydro creates value for communities, investors and offtakers alike by:
Turning green waste into biomethanol and biochar
Converting wind and solar into 24/7 carbon-free energy
Delivering bankable long-term revenue streams for investors
Using proprietary technology to provide supply certainty and price stability that fossil fuel alternatives simply can’t match
Domestic energy security is achievable, and we’re proving it.
Sunshine Hydro’s Proprietary AESOP technology is the cornerstone that enables seamless and efficient operation of our Superhybrid™ energy systems. It uses historic, live and forecast data to determine the best use of each renewable electron for each 5-minute period.
We seek to create tangible benefits for the local communities and First Nations people of our project sites. We walk the talk by offering agency in our projects through shareholding, employment and revenue sharing.
Key to the Superhybrid™ financial advantage is combining long-term contracted revenue (10 years+) with capturing arbitrage and trading opportunities. This means bankability for greenfield projects and significant profitability boosts for existing long-duration energy storage assets.
We have a portfolio of more than 70 projects at different levels of development. Each is designed around the Superhybrid™ business model or as a stand-alone green fuel production facility with a prospect of a future merger into a Superhybrid project.
As developers we are progressively moving these projects through design, planning approval, pre-FEED, FEED and financial modelling. In parallel we are establishing power purchase agreements for the renewable wind and solar input and off-take agreements for the energy and green fuel outputs. We strategically sell down our share of the projects to release capital to developing further projects.
Global decarbonisation is urgent. We will do everything in our power to accelerate it. This includes offering advisory services to ‘superhybridise’ third-party projects and existing long-duration energy storage assets, as well as licensing AESOP software for the operations phase.
This can be done by setting up a ‘digital twin’ of the asset ecosystem and simulating its performance using Superhybrid™ principles. We gain credible results by using historical data. This means we don’t use ‘perfect foresight’. We can also observe how the assets would operate in real time.
