Hunter-based invention GRANEX® will soon be powering and heating The Forum Sports and Aquatic Centre at the University of Newcastle's Callaghan campus thanks to a $770,000 grant from the Australian Solar Institute.
The $770,000 grant, together with $940,000 from partner organisations, will fund the creation of a demonstration solar thermal combined power and heat project by relocating a GRANEX® power plant to The Forum. The plant will generate energy for use in heating the pool and provide power to other areas of the complex.
