The Western Australian Government has pledged $33.6 million towards five decarbonisation projects in the state, with a focus on empowering remote communities to generate their own power and reduce reliance on diesel generators. These projects, including one receiving $5 million, are part of the Lower Carbon Grants program, which supports innovation in sectors such as hydrogen, CCUS, and hard to abate industries. The program, funded by the Gorgon Joint Venture, aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable economic growth. The GreenTech Hub, a $4 million initiative over four years, will drive the development of green technologies, starting with an innovation challenge to explore advanced energy storage systems. This initiative by Curtin University will foster collaboration between industry and academia to address energy challenges and pave the way for a cleaner future. Through these investments and partnerships, Western Australia is taking significant steps towards achieving its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
