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.

Southern Green Gas responding to global climate change

Published reports over recent years have shown us that climate change is already causing more frequent and more severe storms, floods, droughts, bushfires and other extreme weather events.

While it may not seem like much, the increase in temperature in Australia has caused an above natural variability in heat extremes and cold extremes. In the southwest region of Australia, we’ve lately seen reduced amounts of rainfall, rising sea levels and the retreat of shorelines. We’ve also seen an increase in extreme fire weather days and looking to the future, we can only expect to experience more changes.

Solar-powered carbon capture technology leading the way

The announced collaboration between Southern Green Gas and AspiraDAC brings further endorsement of global financial infrastructure company Stripe as its first customer. This sets the scene for an Australian first – production and deployment of solar-powered Direct Air Capture (DAC) modules by the end of 2022.

The Southern Green Gas story

Southern Green Gas is developing renewable methane projects in Australia for domestic and export markets. Renewable methane, which can easily be converted to hydrogen at a customer’s site, is the preferred means to transport renewable hydrogen. It is potentially the lowest cost and can be delivered quickly to market.
