Balancing Risk and Responsibility: Our Approach to Project Management
Southern Green Gas (SGG) has always been at the forefront of innovation in sustainable energy solutions. We take immense pride in our exceptional team, which includes Philip Jackson, the General Manager for Development.
The Climate Change Authority report on the role of carbon sequestration in Australia’s decarbonisation
Recently two of our advisors Professor Deanna D’Alessandro and Brett Cooper worked with Ben Holt, Assistant Manager of the Science and Adaptation team in the Climate Change Authority (CCA) and his team to develop the following report.
Operational Update: Key appointments and successful automated trials
It’s been a busy start to 2023 for our team, and we’re proud to announce that our team is growing in size and capability. Additionally, successful automated rig tests are allowing our team to rapidly trial a variety of options that aim to enhance the viability of our DAC hubs in real-time.
Media Release: Australia’s former Chief Scientist invests in home-grown carbon capture pioneer Southern Green Gas
Southern Green Gas (SGG) is now rapidly progressing commercialisation of its CO₂ capture technology after investment by Australia’s former Chief Scientist, Dr Alan Finkel AO.
Flying Greener: Why synthetic jet fuels are the future of air travel
Flight has fundamentally connected people, cultures, and economies around the world. However, the aviation industry is one of the largest contributors to global carbon dioxide emissions. As a result, the industry is turning to viable methods, such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This shift towards e-fuels has the potential to revolutionise the aviation industry, leading to reduced emissions, improved air quality and a more sustainable future for air travel.
The Australian Academy of Science reports on greenhouse gas removal in Australia
The Australian Academy of Science convened a roundtable of experts to discuss emissions reduction along with creative solutions that would ensure a healthier planet. Included was Professor Deanna D’Alessandro, showcasing our leading Direct Air Capture technology. It is clear that Australia’s resources and research capabilities make an ideal location for greenhouse gas removal, and SGG is well-positioned at the forefront of innovation.
New grant to help develop aviation fuels
In the beginning of November 2022 Southern Green Gas welcomed the news that we would receive a $1 million grant from the NSW Environmental Trust. The funds will be used to develop a solar powered e-kerosene production module, based on our existing foundational green technology, to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) which is in high demand. We send our gratitude to the Minister for Energy Matt Kean and the NSW Environmental Trust.
Podcast – In Focus: Methanol as a green fuel for shipping
In this latest In Focus episode of the Seatrade Maritime Podcast we talk to Chris Chatterton, Chief Operating Officer of the Methanol Institute, about why methanol is suitable as a green fuel for shipping and the challenges faced in its adoption.
How SGGs Next Generation Carbon Capture Tech Works
The team at SGG learnt early on that what was accepted as the textbook method for using metal organic frameworks (MOFs) to extract carbon dioxide out of the air just wasn’t going to work in reality. This lead to the development of new technology headed by Rohan Gillespie and Professor Deanna D’Alessandro.
