Australian clean-tech firm Endua receives $4.88M federal funding to scale its modular PEM electrolyser tech, boosting on-site hydrogen production for transport & industry.
Endua Accelerates Hydrogen Revolution with $4.88M Government Boost
Brisbane, Australia – Clean-energy innovator Endua has secured A$4.88 million from the Australian Government’s Industry Growth Program to scale its proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser technology and expand domestic manufacturing capabilities.
Key Highlights
✅ Funding Purpose: Advances AHEAD project (Advanced Hydrogen Electrolyser for Australian Decarbonisation)
✅ Tech Edge: Modular, plug-and-play electrolysers for on-site hydrogen production
✅ Market Potential: Targets transport, remote power & green ammonia sectors
✅ Backing: Partnerships with Ampol, CSIRO & Main Sequence
Why This Matters for Australia’s Green Transition?
1. Solving Hydrogen’s Biggest Challenges
Endua’s system eliminates:
🔹 Costly transport/storage – Produces hydrogen where it’s used
🔹 Infrastructure bottlenecks – Installs rapidly without major site works
🔹 Grid dependency – Ideal for mining, farms & off-grid industry
2. Local Jobs & Global Ambitions
- Queensland-based R&D and manufacturing
- Positions Australia as PEM electrolyser exporter
- Aligns with National Hydrogen Strategy’s 2030 goals
3. Industry-Ready Applications
✔ Trucking & transport – Fuel cell vehicle refuelling
✔ Mining/agriculture – Diesel replacement in remote sites
✔ Future fuels – Feedstock for green ammonia & synthetic fuels
Leadership Insights
Paul Sernia, CEO, Endua:
“This funding accelerates our mission to deliver hydrogen where traditional energy falls short. We’re building local expertise to compete globally.”
Endua’s Competitive Edge
