Leading Australian innovations for a sustainable future

Allume has been featured in The Age’s recent article, "From bottled lightning to 'hempcrete': The Australian innovations that could save the world." The article highlights groundbreaking Australian companies tackling some of the planet’s biggest challenges.

The article explores innovations like:

• PlasmaLeap - mimicking nature’s lightning to create low-cost, low-energy, clean fertiliser.
• X-Hemp - producing sustainable, prefab building materials from hemp to reduce reliance on traditional, high-carbon materials.
• Levur - developing a palm oil substitute with genetically modified yeast, offering a circular economy alternative to deforestation-causing palm plantations.

Among these trailblazers, Allume was spotlighted for our SolShare technology. SolShare bridges the gap for the 2 million Australians living in apartments unable to access solar energy’s benefits. With installations in over 4,000 apartments globally, SolShare dynamically and fairly distributes solar energy between multiple units, maximising efficiency and savings for residents.

Our recent $3.77 million federal grant ensures we can expand manufacturing and installation, bringing renewable energy solutions to more apartment dwellers across Australia and beyond. As governments like NSW introduce incentives for solar on apartment buildings, we’re excited about the potential for greater adoption and a more sustainable future.

We’re proud to be part of this innovation wave, showcasing Australian ingenuity and environmental leadership.
