Australia has ambitious targets to establish their own hydrogen economy and become a
hydrogen fuel leader, to become a “a renewable energy exporter
and hydrogen fuel hotspot.”
It wants to become a hydrogen fuel leader through PV2G: converting solar photovoltaic
energy into hydrogen by a process called electrolysis, splitting H2O water into hydrogen
and oxygen with electrical current. Most hydrogen today comes from steam reforming
of natural gas CH4 resulting H2 and polluting CO2.
Australia wants to “literally bottle sunshine through electrolysis and sell it,"
China has its own energy source and its photovoltaics, it owns 80% of the world’s PV
production capacity and has a saturated electrical grid for PV installations. It also has
many coal plants whose CO2 can be used to produce methane gas CH4 with H2 and
CO2 through the Sabatier process. In addition China’s has a large metal refining industry,
fertilizer production and petrochemical cracking industry that can also utilize
the clean imported hydrogen.
Hydrogen can be stored in an LOHC - liquid oxide hydrogen carrier that reduces hydrogen
gas density up to 5 times as much as when hydrogen is in a liquid compressed hydrogen
form. LOHC makes hydrogen easy to store and transport around the world.
The objective of this project is to open up new clean hydrogen markets in China and
set up new PV2G hydrogen plants in Australia where potential solar power and land is
abundant.

THE ‘SUN TO GAS’ EXPORT PROCESS
1
Can construct new concentrated solar
power plants that produce electricity.
or
Supplies durable PV panels to produce electricity
2
Installs the electrolysor
machines that use the produced electricity to
split H2O water into H2 gas and O gas.
4
Installs the storage containers for the
LOHC (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrer)
liquid catalyzer.

PROJECT INVESTMENT PROJECTIONS EXAMPLE
Investors would be able to buy equity shares in a new fund called ‘PV2G plants’. The firm 'PV2G plants' will
own the PV2G or CSP2G plants, the firm will have third parties in the consortium manage the power to gas plants.
Investors will receive equity dividends from the plants hydrogen gas producing sales revenues. The investor might
also benefit from possible share price rises, due to the funds expansion, increased know how and innovation.
Numbers
Investment projections
• The concentrated power plants costs 1-2 million per 1 MW / PV plants cost 0.7 million per MW
• The electrolyser costs around 0.25 million per 1MW
• Other costs per MW are estimated at 0.25-1 million per MW
• Averaging the target scale investment cost at 1.5 million per MW
Production projections
• 1 MW is estimated to be able to produce 5-7 Mw-h per day
• 5 Mw-h converts to around 100 kilo’s of hydrogen a day, resulting in 36,500 kilos of hydrogen a year.
The by-product of electrolysis is 750 Kilos of oxygen a day and 273,750 kilos of oxygen a year,
this can be used domestically in the generator.
• 1 kg of hydrogen has the same energy content as 1 gallon (3.2 kg) or 4 litres of gasoline,
fuel cell driving value of 15$ per kilogram, production price of 5$ and gas grid spot market
price between 1$ and 2$ when mixed with carbon dioxide to form methane.
• Resulting in an estimated revenue of 182,500$-36,500$ per year per MW.
The PS10 has 11 MW power capacity and costs 35 million, with scale, higher temperature and innovation we estimate the industrial cost to be half.

PROPOSED PLAN
The projects plan is to start with a field of existing PV or one CSP plant located near a port,
that would have land available to expand the project to 20-100 plants. The plants would
be connected with electrical cables, using transported the electricity at the port to generate
the hydrogen gas with the the electrolyser and mix the H2 with the liquefying LOHC.
Investor interest
• Share dividends is projected to be around 3% to 15% a year
• Potential share price rise
• Religious responsibility as caretakers for the world
• Secure investment in sustainable fuel production
• Investments that reduce inequality and provide induced employment
• Support for the domestic economy
• Produce fuel that reduces carbon dioxide emisions
• Existing and upcoming markets
