About Us
Capricorn Clean Energy Investments is a relatively new entrant in the Renewable Fuels Industry.
We are specifically focussed on bringing leading expertise together to guide the investment into, and development of, the hydrogen-based fuels industry where 100% of the energy is renewables derived otherwise known as “green hydrogen fuels”.
As the world continues its efforts to decarbonise the market opportunities in the sector are of significant scale. Similarly the opportunities that capture our interest are those that benefit greatly from economies of scale.
Our approach will always be market responsive and prudent with capital expenditure.
We aim to be a leader in the development of an Australian Green Hydrogen-based Renewables Fuels Economy.

Primary Market:
Green Ammonia
Ammonia is a pungent gas that is widely used to make agricultural fertilisers and half the world’s food production depends on Ammonia-based fertilisers for increasing crop yield.
Ammonia has nine times the energy density of Li-ion batteries, and three times that of compressed hydrogen, creating potential as a carbon-free energy carrier. Whilst Ammonia has a well-established supply chain, the “Green Ammonia” energy market is only just starting to gain traction globally.
Green Ammonia production is where the process of making ammonia is 100% renewable and carbon-free. Green ammonia is made by using hydrogen from water electrolysis and nitrogen separated from the air.
As renewable technologies develop the focus is shifting from production (solar, wind, wave etc) to storage and transportation.
What differentiates ammonia is that it is the best method to transport ‘liquid wind and liquid sunshine green energy.’ It is the best ‘hydrogen vector’ with the ability to hold energy for a long period of times, meet seasonal demand peaks, and be transported long distances at lower cost.

Secondary Markets:
Green Jet Fuel & Green Diesel
Substantial existing markets exist for both Jet Fuel and Diesel. Using carbon dioxide and processing with hydrogen to produce green versions of these fuels is known technology. However, some challenges exist with scaling these processes from pilot plant scale. We are monitoring progress in this field and when appropriate will consider opportunities in the sector.
Green Methanol & DME Di-Methyl-Ether (DME) is a well established propane substitute and along with methanol are regarded as intermediate products for chemical manufacture. Green methanol and green DME, which are produced from renewable hydrogen, have both been identified as attractive, future green fuels, and as supporting a future green chemical manufacturing industry. It is our intention to produce these green fuels as the market opportunities emerge.
