Four projects from The University of Western Australia have been awarded Federal Government grants totaling over $1.5 million under the Ignite grants program. Professor Eric May's sustainable fuel project focuses on developing low-cost separation technology for natural hydrogen and helium recovery, essential for advanced economies. Three separate digital agriculture projects led by Professors Dilusha Silva and Michael Johns, along with Dr Andrew Sunderland, aim to revolutionize farm management and food authentication using innovative technologies. These projects demonstrate a strong industry engagement and potential for commercialization. The grants support early-stage research commercialization, providing funds for basic research and laboratory testing. The projects highlight UWA's commitment to innovation and its contribution to sustainable fuel technologies and advancements in digital agriculture.
