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 reductions over the next decade to combat climate change, grow the economy, create jobs and attract investment.
The Net Zero Manufacturing Initiative (the Initiative) has allocated up to $25 million in this round of the Clean Technology Innovation (CTI) Grant for piloting and demonstrating lab-proven clean technologies to accelerate their commercial readiness. This aims to support projects and activities that help advance clean technology readiness levels (TRL) from 6 and beyond. As this can include design and construct elements for the technology itself or enabling infrastructure required to test the technology.
The CTI program is a key initiative which will unlock the next wave of low emission technologies needed for NSW to reach net zero emissions by 2050. CTI is designed to foster innovation throughout the entire journey of product development. This spans from research and piloting to infrastructure development, commercialisation and deployment.
