LAVO and Hybrid Systems Australia (HSA) have signed an MOU to determine and trial applications of LAVO’s hydrogen energy technology at HSA’s Kewdale facilities in Western Australia.

Under the MOU, LAVO will work closely with HSA to trial and test the application of hydrogen as an energy source using LAVO’s product offering at the Kewdale facility. As the first of its kind trial in Western Australia, the trial will test the applicability of incorporating LAVO’s products into HSA’s suite of products in the longer term.

The demonstration project is expected to commence in July 2021, extending the reach of LAVO’s existing demonstration projects across Australia. Focused on providing a complete, versatile and sustainable solution to energy storage for the community, home and person, LAVO is ideally suited to partner with HSA.

The LAVO Energy Storage System was developed in partnership with UNSW and Design + Industry. The LAVO system is a hydrogen hybrid battery that stores over 40KWh of electricity– enough to power the average Australian home for 2 days. Integrating with standard rooftop solar, the LAVO system generates green hydrogen for renewable power when consumers need it.

"We are thrilled to be working with Hybrid Systems Australia on the development of the Western Australia LAVO demonstration project. With its commitment to supporting the shift to a greener future through alternative energy technologies, HSA’s vision for a renewable energy future amplifies our own ambitious sustainability agenda," said Alan Yu, CEO and Executive Director of LAVO.
