Research hub
The NSW Decarbonisation Innovation Hub supports three networks that bring together research , industry , and government to attract investment into decarbonisation tech and services .
The Hub supports the development and commercialisation of green powerfuel technologies , including hydrogen , and enhances the delivery of innovative electrification and energy systems . It also embeds decarbonisation in the next wave of sustainable land practices in NSW , accelerating the transition to net zero with benefits for people and nature .
The Hub is co-hosted by UNSW and the University of Newcastle and supported by leading universities across NSW . Funded by the NSW Government and member universities , it contributes to the state ’ s goal of net zero emissions by 2050 and a 50 % reduction on 2005 levels by 2030 .
The team is currently distributing funding for its first round of seed projects across two of its networks , with the third to commence callouts in in 2024 .
