LAVO's patented metal hydride storage solution provides cost-effective, long-duration green energy storage, decarbonising the mining and resources sector. LAVO's Metal Hydrides, when delivered at utility-scale, have the capacity to store up to 14MWhrs of energy in the form of H2. LAVO has invested in domestic manufacturing sites for electrolysers, hydride and fuel cells to improve Australia's sovereign capacity.

A key challenge in decarbonisation of the mining and resources sector is that of cost-effective, long-duration green energy storage.

LAVO's patented metal hydride storage solution addresses this through its core IP that uses metals (AB Hydride blend) to efficiently store hydrogen, an abundant element with almost limitless supply.

Unlike batteries that are unable to store large quantities of electricity for extended periods of time, hydrogen can be produced from excess renewable energy and stored in large amounts for a long time. It has the potential to provide clean power for manufacturing, transportation, and more. This can work to reduce carbon emissions and help in achieving climate change targets.

LAVO’s first commercial product, the Hydrogen Energy Storage System (HESS), contains an electrolyser, H2 storage vessel, fuel cell and lithium battery and acts as a hybrid generator/storage/power supply.

LAVO’s HESS units are in the field in South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, ready for compliance and regulatory approvals, and to prove the commercial readiness (TRL9/ CRI2).

When delivered at utility-scale, LAVO's Metal Hydrides have the capacity to store up to 14MWhrs of energy in the form of H2, for use within power-to-power (kW) or power-to-fuel (kg) scenarios.

LAVO has also invested in domestic manufacturing sites for electrolysers, hydride and fuel cells to improve Australia's sovereign capacity.

The company has received orders for 2,500 units from Australia and overseas, making it well on the way to reaching its mission to empower limitless energy.
