Breakthrough For Sustainable Renewable Energy

Hidro+

hydroFirst Stage of 25 Kilo watt semi-commercial plant completed. A first for Australia, first for the world.

Hidro+ Tower Technology, the only new technology in the world to feature at the UNFCCC COP15 in Copenhagen is ready to unveil the 100% renewable and reliable green semi-commercial plant.

The patented Hidro+ Technology uses pressure gradients which are always naturally available in any column of water (this how submarine operates) to deploy an affordable, sustainable and reliable energy generator.

The Hidro+ technology has been a decade in development by a team of dedicated engineers and fabricators, ignoring the many skeptics in order to present a truly viable clean energy security solution.

The next Hidro+ Plant to be constructed will be 1000 Kilo-watts Hidro+ generating 8,500,000Kw per year or enough electricity for approximately 1300 Australian homes*.

Abating annually;

  • Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
  • 13,600 tonnes per year +
  • 2,975 tonnes per year from upstream and down streams works +
  • 2,550 tonnes per year from transmission and distribution losses

TOTAL 19,125 tonnes per year

Equivalent to:

  • planting 114,750 Twenty-Five year old pine trees
  • taking 7,968 cars per year off road*
  • 30,000,000 litres of water
  • 595 tonnes dust particulates (Dust particulates studied health effects in humans and animals now include asthma, lung cancer, cardiovascular issues, and premature death).*

About Hidro+

1000 Kilo-watt or 1 Mega-watt modules have a 600m2 footprint, costing approximately US$3.75million, with 100% availability in any weather conditions. Hidro+ can be placed directly at substations avoiding the significant environmental and financial cost of transmission networks, in Qld alone network cost is 47% of your retail electricity bill*.
