ARENA, on behalf of the Australian Government, has opened Round 3 of the $400 million Industrial Transformation Scheme under the Powering the Regions Fund. The program supports industrial decarbonisation projects in regional Australia, with $180 million in funding available in this round.
The Scheme aims to help regional industries reduce greenhouse gas emissions through electrification, energy efficiency, low-emission processing, and fuel switching. Funding is available for projects that demonstrate or deploy clean technologies to cut emissions and improve productivity in manufacturing and processing operations.
Previous funding rounds have supported several major industrial decarbonisation projects, which demonstrate pathways for reducing emissions while lowering energy costs and supporting local jobs.
Further information, including eligibility criteria and application details for Round 3 of the Industrial Transformation Stream, is available on the ITS website.
