UAC reaches global growth milestone with first international MEGC shipment from China

UMOE Advanced Composites (UAC) has completed manufacture of five Multi Element Gas Containers (MEGCs) at its Jiaxing facility in China and is shipping the MEGCs to the Hiringa Sundown Joint Venture in Australia.

The shipment marks UAC’s first international commercial delivery of MEGCs from its China manufacturing facility. It is also a technology milestone, with the MEGCs incorporating the first Type IV glass-fibre pressure cylinders manufactured in China.

The two 20-foot and three 40-foot MEGCs will support the Good Earth Green Hydrogen and Ammonia (GEGHA) Project in New South Wales. The project is being developed by Hiringa Sundown, a joint venture between Hiringa Energy and Sundown Pastoral Company, and will use green hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia to help decarbonize agriculture and transport.

The project is also proudly funded by the NSW Government through its Hydrogen Hub Initiative.
