Five projects in Australia have won a share of A$13 million (£6.8m) to help accelerate decarbonisation, lower energy costs and support low carbon supply chains.
The funding is being provided by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) under the now-closed National Industrial Transformation (NIT) Programme, which supported projects aimed at reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions at existing or planned industrial facilities.
Projects that will share the funding include the electrification of a brewhouse, showcase of clean technology for automated laundry sorting and washing that reduces energy and the replacement of a 40-year old gas-fired log furnace with a fully electric one.
They will contribute towards reducing emissions and provide insights to support market readiness and application across other Australian facilities and sectors.
ARENA CEO Darren Miller said: “Australia cannot reach net zero without transforming how we produce the materials, energy and goods that underpin our economy.
“These projects show that industrial decarbonisation is not a future aspiration but is happening now, with practical solutions that cut emissions, strengthen competitiveness and build the foundations for new low carbon industries.”
