Sheep grazing and utility-scale solar generation. Sounds like they don’t belong in the same sentence. They do now.
Australia is pioneering a new type of operation that makes farms more than farms: the “agrivoltaics hub.” Also called the agrisolar hub.
A cotton farm is building a facility that produces green hydrogen and ammonia using solar power. Regional farms are being transformed into integrated energy producers.
It’s land use for farming and solar generation simultaneously. It’s landowners building these hubs on their own land to power themselves. What follows is a self-powered farm and a supply chain that’s independent of overseas logistics chains.
But what does it actually take to build and run a hybrid operation?
What does the back-office infrastructure look like when a farm becomes a regulated energy and chemical producer?
