Four projects from The University of Western Australia have been awarded Federal Government grants exceeding $1.5 million for sustainable fuel and digital agriculture initiatives. The projects, funded under Australia’s Economic Accelerator fund, aim to showcase industry engagement and a clear path to commercialisation. Professor Eric May received funding for a sustainable fuel project focused on developing low-cost separation technology optimized for natural hydrogen and helium recovery, addressing the high costs associated with conventional techniques. Additionally, Professors Dilusha Silva and Michael Johns, alongside Dr Andrew Sunderland, are leading digital agriculture projects. Professor Silva's project involves creating a low-cost spectroscopic sensing instrument for autonomous farm management, while Professor Johns aims to develop mobile magnetic resonance sensing for liquid food supply chain authentication. Dr Sunderland is working on enhancing airborne electromagnetic surveying for groundwater and conductive minerals. These projects highlight the University's commitment to innovation and sustainability. The Ignite grants, supporting early-stage research commercialisation, provide crucial financial backing for researchers to advance their work in industry-relevant settings.
