The NSW Government is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and this will require industry to decarbonise. The Net Zero Plan Stage 1: 2020-2030 (the Net Zero Plan) will fast-track emissions reduction over the next decade to combat climate change, grow the economy and create jobs and attract investment.  

In its 2023 budget, the NSW Government announced the $480 million in funding to boost the Net Zero Manufacturing Initiative (the Initiative), which is a key part of the Net Zero Plan. The Initiative funding streams will build local manufacturing capacity and capability to deliver critical components for NSW’s emerging renewable energy sector and new low carbon products.

The Initiative has allocated up to $5 million in this round for the Low Carbon Product Manufacturing (LCPM). This aims to support businesses proposing to manufacture eligible low carbon products reach a financial investment decision (FID) to build new manufacturing facilities or expand existing facilities in NSW.  

The project development stream will provide grants between $50,000 and $900,000 per project.
