“There are just three demonstration sites at this scale that we know of anywhere in the world, so Australia has joined quite an elite group of global leaders poised to make this technology a commercial reality,” said Professor Dastoor.
Professor Dastoor said the material could be rapidly manufactured, enabling accelerated deployment into the marketplace.
