The State Government is investing $6.58 million to advance technologies that help WA’s heavy industry transition to net zero emissions by 2050.

Delivered by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, the Carbon Innovation Grants Program (CIGP) supports feasibility studies, pilot projects and capital works focused on carbon abatement and sequestration.

Round 2 of the program will fund 10 projects, such as:

• A seaweed biorefinery to produce plastic alternatives.
• A project to capture CO₂ from ammonia production and create useful by-products.
• A feasibility study into hybrid electrification of quad trailers for regional transport.

The $15 million program, a 2021 election commitment, is administered through a competitive process to encourage innovative solutions for reducing industrial emissions.

These projects will help WA industries adopt low-carbon technologies, strengthen sustainability, and support the state government’s priority to decarbonise the economy.
