Q . HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITIES ARE ‘ SELF SUSTAINING ’, OPERATING WITH ENERGY OFF THE GRID ?
» We ’ re moving rapidly towards renewable energy to power our homes , our transport , and our businesses . Other renewables , like solar , hydro and wind , help us get most of the way there , but aren ’ t available all of the time and require backup generators that ensure constant power generation .
This is where Endua comes into play . Endua ’ s power banks generate electricity created from 100 % renewables , stored as hydrogen , and are ready to go at a moment ’ s notice . They are built to deliver sustainable , reliable and cost-effective electricity on demand .
We ’ re initially focusing on delivering renewable electricity so communities and remote infrastructure can access reliable , renewable energy at any time of day .
Q . WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE MAIN CHALLENGES FOR ENERGY STORAGE AS WE STRIVE TO MEET NET ZERO TARGETS ?
» The biggest challenge for Australia ’ s energy sector is in finding and fast-tracking new home-grown technologies to enable Australia ’ s transition to a low-emissions future . Main Sequence ’ s venture science model has given Endua all the ingredients it needs to meet this challenge .
For Endua specifically , our biggest challenge lies in meeting the expectations of commercial markets and being cost-effective when compared to existing electricity sources . The technology we ’ ve developed with CSIRO enables us to make the cost more affordable compared to fossil fuel sources , more reliable and easily maintained in remote communities .
Q . WILL YOU BE CONCENTRATING ON AUSTRALASIA / ASIA REGIONS , OR TARGETING INTERNATIONAL MARKETS ?
» Initially , our focus is to concentrate on the Australian market , but Endua has been developed with a global mindset so international markets are definitely on our radar .
Given how geographically dispersed Australia is , it ’ s the ideal place to test and learn before we look beyond our borders . Endua presents an immense opportunity for Australia and the country ’ s energy sector . energydigital . com 21
