Challenge
NDIH examines the innovation pipeline for technologies and establishes world-class partnerships, including those with industry and financiers, to commercialise technologies that reduce carbon emissions. Some examples include sustainable aviation fuels, green hydrogen, energy storage, greener building materials like concrete, steel and aluminium and various agrisolar products to enhance the coexistence of agriculture and renewable technologies.
Solution
Bringing world-class research together with local industry and governments enables a deeper understanding of the challenges in commercialisation and market adoption, as well as use. NDIH also builds outstanding facilities for enabling commercialisation and local manufacture. It also aims to advise all parties on good science-based opportunities in this area, which may support better government policies and industry business cases. A key part of this is knowledge translation support.
Target customers / end-users
• government( policy settings decision)
• industry( knowledge translation, technology development, upscaling, demonstration and commercialisation)
• communities( understanding approaches to technology adoption and integration).
Progress
• secured around AU $ 30m in funding support from government, universities and industry
• built a 10-university consortium from around NSW
• economic contributions to NSW include new jobs, targeted decarbonisation and skills development.
