Industries
Batteries
Ouroborus is actively advancing battery technology across two distinct and complementary fronts: grid-scale storage and next-generation battery materials. On the grid side, Ouroborus is developing an AI-driven battery orchestration platform designed to intelligently coordinate distributed battery storage systems, relieve electricity network congestion, and increase the hosting capacity for renewable energy integration across Australia’s distribution networks. This work focuses on how data-driven coordination of distributed batteries can support high penetrations of renewable energy while maintaining network reliability, resilience, and affordability — directly contributing to Australia’s net-zero transition. In parallel, Ouroborus is working at the materials level, using a hybrid physics and machine learning framework to rapidly identify, synthesise, and validate solid-state electrolyte materials for safer, higher-performance lithium-ion batteries. This approach shortens the discovery-to-prototype cycle for next-generation solid-state batteries, reduces the safety risks associated with flammable liquid electrolytes, and positions Australia for pilot-scale solid-state battery manufacturing. Together, these initiatives reflect Ouroborus’s commitment to advancing the full battery value chain — from smarter energy management to the fundamental science that will define the batteries of tomorrow.
Construction
Additive Manufacturing
3D PRINTING
Ouroborus works with companies in the Additive Manufacturing industry to foster innovation in this space. We are interested in the many ways Australia can utilise post-consumer waste to create a circular economy within 3D printing practices. This not only create enterprise and opportunities within 3DP, but also points to more sustainable and cost-effective options for end-users and industry at-large. Ouroborus firmly believes regional Victoria is positioned to emerge as the 3D printing hub of Australia.
Innovation and Engineering
Farming
Ouroborus is working with a number of different partners to create innovative solutions for regional industry while promoting job growth in regional areas. These projects include heat transfer technology, anaerobic digestors, battery development and energy utilisation, soil remediation, wastewater treatment, and whole systems transformation.
Alternatives to Fossil Fuel-Derived Diesel
Ouroborus has partnered with both industry and research institutions to explore viable alternatives to fossil-fuel. Among our many exciting projects, Ouroborus is currently looking at the economic viability of converting used cooking oil into biodiesel. Our goal is to lead industry towards a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions as diesel derived from fossil fuel is displaced by carbon neutral alternatives.
Recycling and Upcycling
Farming and Animal Husbandry
Ouroborus is working with a number of different partners to create innovative solutions for regional industry while promoting job growth in regional areas. These projects include heat transfer technology, anaerobic digestors, battery development and energy utilisation, soil remediation, wastewater treatment, and whole systems transformation.
Renewable Energy
Ouroborus is working with established industry and universities to advance the recycling of solar panels throughout Australia. This is a new and exciting space where Ouroborus is assisting in the creation of nation-wide solar farms which will both create local industry and jobs, as well as progress Australia towards a future with increased levels of clean energy.
Grid-Scale Battery Storage & Orchestration
Ouroborus is exploring advanced approaches to grid-scale battery storage and orchestration, with a focus on how intelligent, data-driven coordination of distributed batteries can relieve network congestion and increase renewable energy hosting capacity. This supports to high penetrations of renewable energy while maintaining network reliability, resilience, and affordability.
Waste to Energy
Emissions Reduction
Alongside research partner RMIT, Ouroborus has developed an online remote monitoring technology for livestock emission gases. Using custom made catalytic reactor, these gases are converted into hydrogen and emissions are significantly reduced. There is no commercial technology at present that integrates this method in a scalable system. Ouroborus has also partnered with academic and industry in the pursuit of producing hydrogen from curbside waste.
