Perdaman has been working with Electric Hydrogen on early engineering works for the electrolyser element of the project under a pre-FEED agreement. Successful progression of those works has now progressed to the selection of Electric Hydrogen as the Preferred Electrolyser Vendor for the further stages of the process.

When we began Project Ceres, our vision was to strengthen Australia’s manufacturing future. Project Helios is the next step in that journey, advancing the decarbonisation of Australian industry through clean, Australian-made hydrogen. – Vikas Rambal | Perdaman’s Chairman.

Perdaman is building a state-of-the-art urea production facility on the Burrup Peninsula near Karratha. Electric Hydrogen’s economically viable large scale HYPRplant electrolysis solution will enable Perdaman to address Australia’s critical need for low-carbon, domestically produced fertilizer. We’re excited to partner with Perdaman on this important mission. – Raffi Garabedian | CEO of Electric Hydrogen.

Perdaman and Electric Hydrogen are continuing to work together to progress Project Helios’ electrolyser technology development.
