NSW DECARBONISATION INNOVATION HUB
The NSW Decarbonisation Innovation Hub advances interdisciplinary research, development, and commercialisation in critical areas of emissions reductions. Lead by UNSW and the University of Newcastle, the consortium of partners includes University of Wollongong, Western Sydney University, University of Technology Sydney, Charles Sturt University, the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Climate-KIC.
The Hub provides a platform to fast-track TRL3-TRL5 technologies and products to market. Activities are focused around three networks:
– Electrification and energy systems – to accelerate renewable energy solutions and support the uptake of electrification in other sectors
> $ 15M investment in Hub.
> Key element of NSW Government’ s strategy to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
> Job creation and capacity building in emission reduction technology.
– Land and primary industries – to produce the next wave of sustainable primary industry practices
– Power fuels including hydrogen – to grow a sustainable NSW hydrogen industry and unlock decarbonisation opportunities for hardto-abate sectors beyond 2030
In addition to helping NSW decarbonise at scale, the Hub will support the economic growth of the state through the creation of new jobs and high-tech businesses. 26 •
