Ark Energy is an Australian company that specialises in the development, construction and operation of utility-scale wind and solar energy generation, battery energy storage and renewable hydrogen production.

It is a subsidiary of Korea Zinc Co. Ltd., a global top-tier nonferrous metal company with a 25-year history in Australia through Ark Energy's sister company, Sun Metals Corporation, which operates the Sun Metals zinc refinery in Townsville.

Korea Zinc is focused on being an innovator and leader in transitioning hard-to-electrify sectors to cleaner, sustainable energy. It was the first major refiner to join RE100 with a commitment to powering its global operations from 100% renewable electricity by 2050.

Ark Energy is also at the forefront of developing Australia’s renewable hydrogen industry. Its SunHQ Hydrogen Hub, co-located with the refinery in Townsville, is one of the largest fully integrated green hydrogen production and heavy vehicle refuelling facilities in Australia.
