Hysata

Meet Kasper T. Therkildsen, Engineering Director at Hysata. With 15 years of engineering experience across clean energy and electrolysis, Kasper has quickly become a valuable source of knowledge for all our engineers. "I'm excited about scaling a unique technology that will help our customers transform the energy system into a greener version and make an impact on climate change," he shares. What motivates Kasper about electrolysers? "I believe we have to improve technology to a point where it no longer makes sense to pursue fossil energy," Kasper explains. "Renewables like solar and wind have successfully reduced electricity costs below that of fossil alternatives in many parts of the world. Now, our job is to do the same with molecules, starting with hydrogen. Reducing green hydrogen costs is key to unlocking the production of other green molecules like methanol, ammonia, and sustainable aviation fuel." In his short time at Hysata, Kasper has been impressed by the team's dedication. "I really appreciate the dedication I've seen from my colleagues and how that translates into cells, stacks, and systems routinely operating with a truly unique efficiency just above the thermoneutral potential." As a leader, Kasper's superpower lies in his ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds and help them grow. We're proud to have Kasper contributing his extensive experience and passion to building the world’s best electrolyser. Welcome aboard! #GreenHydrogen #EfficiencyWins

Hysata has some new locally-made artwork for our electrolyser manufacturing facility! These pieces were created by our team with support from the Hysata board and will serve as a permanent reminder of the guiding principles behind our workplace culture. Chief People Officer Leanne Isabella explains: “We’ve grown our team quite substantially over the last 12 months, and it’s been a while since we did a team building exercise. This is really an opportunity to come together, do something fun while creating an important artefact that represents our culture.” Hear more from Leanne about Hysata’s workplace environment and this fun activity! #GreenHydrogen #EfficiencyWins #WorkplaceCulture

Grateful to have a few days with the Hysata Board last week in Port Kembla! Following the success of our Series B funding round, our leadership team took the opportunity to update the board on our commercialisation progress and talk further about our scale up strategy for 2025. Our board has a wealth of knowledge from experts across infrastructure and climate tech, energy, resources and the finance sector. Always valuable to receive their input into our plans and hear their broader insights into the green hydrogen industry, decarbonisation of the hard to abate sectors and their key priorities for the year ahead. And of course, with Hysata culture at the heart of everything we do – we always make time for some team building! Last time it was lawn bowls, and this time we tested the board’s artistic flair! We’ll share more on these masterpieces soon. Thank you to the Hysata board for your ongoing support - Dean Dalla Valle Mike Molinari IP Group plc Robert Trezona Kiko Ventures Blair Pritchard Alex Oppes Virescent Ventures Jared Balavender Vestas Nick Kendall bp Alfred Wong Templewater. #GreenHydrogen #EfficiencyWins

Yesterday we welcomed Assistant Minister for Trade and a Future Made in Australia Senator the Hon Tim Ayres to Port Kembla.   Hysata CEO Paul Barrett gave Senator Ayres a tour of our manufacturing facility and stepped through our plan to build high-efficiency electrolysers in the Illawarra. The Senator was impressed with the progress we have made since his last visit in June.   As an Australian electrolyser company commercialising critical climate technology and building technical capability in the Illawarra, we can kickstart a new, Australian-made green manufacturing value chain.   As highlighted in our senate submission, we believe Australian Governments will need to work in lockstep with Australian companies to keep pace with the rest of the world. A Future Made in Australia means supporting local innovation to accelerate the global transition to net zero.   Hysata looks forward to continue working with Senator Ayres as the Australian Government progresses this important policy.   #GreenHydrogen #EfficiencyWins

We have a busy week ahead with the Hysata board in town so it was a perfect warm up to welcome IP Group plc to our Port Kembla facility last Friday!   IP Group Chief Executive Officer Greg Smith and Managing Director IP Group Australia Mike Molinari were given a tour by Paul Barrett to see our commercialisation progress. For UK-based Greg, the last time he was here it was an empty site, so it was a great opportunity to showcase our staff, labs, and equipment for our high efficiency electrolyser.    The team enjoyed hearing from both Greg and Mike about the importance of team culture, how impressed they are with our progress, and the strong culture we have built in a short amount of time.    And what would be a visit to HQ without the gifting of an Aussie Hysata shirt to Greg and lucky for us, a reciprocated gift for our team - the British version of Tim-Tams, Penguins!    #GreenHydrogen #EfficiencyWins

Hysata Chief Technology Officer Gerry Swiegers was proud to be invited to the Prime Minister’s Prizes for Science celebration in Canberra this week 🧪 Incredible to be amongst Australia’s leading scientists and innovators who are tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges, and inspirational science teachers who are excelling in STEM education. Celebrating 25 years of the PM’s Prizes for Science this year, Gerry said the event was an excellent reminder of how much world-leading innovation there is in Australia. This was also reinforced by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic MP, MC Dr Vanessa Pirotta and other esteemed guests. Breakthrough science is something we know well at Hysata, with Gerry founding the capillary-fed electrolysis technology behind our high efficiency electrolyser. Together with Hysata and his research team at University of Wollongong, Gerry continues to build on this invention that is critical in driving down the cost of green hydrogen and decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. Congratulations to Professor Andrew Wilks and Dr Chris Burns, founders of Cytopia, for receiving the 2024 Prime Minister Prize for Innovation and all other prize recipients! #PMPrizes #Innovation #GreenHydrogen #EfficiencyWins #STEM #Science Department of Industry, Science and Resources

Our team is the driving force behind our green hydrogen technology. Each day, they are hard at work developing the world’s most advanced electrolyser systems, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and striving to accelerate decarbonisation of the hard to abate sectors. But living a ‘Hy-Life’ is as much about taking a moment to enjoy our incredible beach-front location, as it is about the cutting-edge technology and hard work. Case in point – Tim and Dan preparing to BBQ some freshly caught lobster just footsteps away from our electrolyser manufacturing facility in Port Kembla. Keeping with our values, there was some serious team work and collaboration at play here! #GreenHydrogen #EfficiencyWins

Earlier this month, Hysata Head of Strategy & Corporate Affairs Prachi Agrawal presented at the Hydrogen Roundtable on feasibility and viability of green hydrogen projects hosted by ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA.

Great to hear from Ulrike Straka, the Austrian Trade Commission and Consulate General, and Lachy Haynes, Energy Transition Partner at PwC, on their insights into Australia and Austria’s shared goals of accelerating the shift away from fossil fuels. #GreenHydrogen #EfficiencyWins

Meet Kendall Mueller, Industrialisation Engineer at Hysata, who is at the forefront of helping realise the mass-manufacturability of our unique electrolysers.   Driven by a passion for environmental sustainability, Kendall joined Hysata to make a tangible impact on the transition to renewable energy. "I see our electrolyser playing an important role, and working with such talented, curious, and persistent coworkers keeps me motivated to deliver my best work".   As a self-described generalist, Kendall’s curiosity about how systems function enhances her design choices. "Understanding our electrolyser's subassemblies has helped me streamline processes and reduce redundancy in our handling equipment".   Outside of work, she's an adventurer at heart. "I love tackling a gruelling mountain adventure, especially mountain biking and backcountry skiing!" Moving from the US to Wollongong, she's also embraced the coastal life, "Being next to the beach, I've learned to love a lunchtime swim or morning surf!"   "Working at Hysata has taught me the value of agile design. With our rapidly developing technology, adding flexibility into new processes or hardware is extremely valuable."   We're proud to have Kendall contributing her expertise and passion to building the world’s best electrolyser and driving decarbonisation in the world’s hard-to-abate sectors.   #GreenHydrogen #EfficiencyWins

Last week was R U OK Day, a reminder to check in on each other and offer support to those at work and within your community.   At Hysata, we are committed to creating a culture where mental health conversations are encouraged, underpinned by strong psychological safety across the company.   Hysata invited Carlie Belancic, Director of The Happiness Lab, to share her story, the value she places on mental health in her life and facilitate a discussion with the audience on how they could support themselves, and their colleagues.   Her message resonated deeply with our team; thanks for being vulnerable Carlie!   #GreenHydrogen #EfficiencyWins
