Climate Change Is Now A Reliability Problem
Decarbonisation must now deliver both emissions reduction and reliability, because communities and industries need clean systems that keep working under stress.
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.
Sunshine Hydro’s Superhybrid™ technology, AESOP software, 24/7 carbon-free energy, green methanol and renewable energy project development.
Sunshine Hydro is an Australian renewable energy and green fuels company developing projects that produce reliable 24/7 carbon-free energy and domestic green fuels. Its model combines renewable generation, long-duration energy storage, green fuel production and proprietary optimisation software to support energy security, decarbonisation and long-term commercial revenue.
A Superhybrid™ is Sunshine Hydro’s integrated renewable energy system that combines wind, solar, sustainable biomass, long-duration energy storage, electrolysers and green fuel production. The system is designed to deliver reliable 24/7 carbon-free energy and green fuels while creating multiple revenue streams from contracted energy, trading, frequency control and grid services.
Sunshine Hydro develops projects designed to produce 24/7 carbon-free energy, biomethanol, biochar and other green fuel products. Its projects aim to convert renewable energy and sustainable biomass into reliable electricity and fuel outputs that can support industry, transport, investors and energy users seeking lower-carbon alternatives.
AESOP, the Advanced Energy Storage Optimisation Program, is Sunshine Hydro’s proprietary software platform for designing and operating Superhybrid™ energy systems. AESOP uses historic, live and forecast data to decide how renewable energy should be used across storage, electricity supply, green fuel production and market opportunities.
24/7 carbon-free energy means renewable electricity that can be matched with demand every hour of every day, rather than only when wind or solar generation is available. Sunshine Hydro’s Superhybrid™ model uses renewable generation, long-duration storage and flexible green fuel production to make renewable power more reliable and contractible.
Sunshine Hydro develops green fuel projects that use sustainable biomass and renewable energy to produce green methanol. Its South Australian Green Fuels project is designed as a stand-alone production plant using biomass supplied through a forestry partnership, with the potential to later connect into a wider Superhybrid™ ecosystem.
Sunshine Hydro is developing a portfolio of renewable energy and green fuel projects designed to generate 24/7 carbon-free energy and green fuels. Its portfolio includes more than 70 project opportunities, including Superhybrid™ projects, long-duration energy storage projects and stand-alone green fuel production facilities.
Long-duration energy storage helps convert variable renewable generation into reliable electricity that can be delivered when customers need it. In a Superhybrid™ system, storage works with wind, solar, green fuel production and AESOP optimisation to support 24/7 carbon-free energy, peaking power, frequency control and grid services.
Sunshine Hydro acknowledges and pays respect to the past, present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders of this nation and the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
