Climate ready program launch
In a media release issued on 29 July, the Minister for Innovation, Science and Research, Senator Kim Carr, announced the Government’s $75m Climate Ready program was open for applications.
The program will support Australian businesses developing new products, processes and services to tackle climate change by providing dollar-for-dollar support for research and development, proof-of-concept and early-stage commercialisation activities.
Applications are expected in areas as diverse as water recycling, waste recovery, small scale renewable energy technologies, green-house building materials, and other products, processes or services to monitor emissions or reduce energy use. The Senator said that applicants can apply for grants ranging from $50,000 to $5m.
