Funding to support decarbonisation projects at mining and manufacturing facilities
Grants to co-fund decarbonisation (abatement) projects at NSW mining and manufacturing facilities that reported emissions under the NGER scheme.
Projects must deliver measurable emissions reductions, be operational by 30 June 2030, and demonstrate at least 50% co-investment from the applicant.
Applicants must be mining or manufacturing facilities in NSW that reported emissions under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Scheme for the 2024-25 financial year.
Applicants must hold an Australian Business Number (ABN), be classified under ANZSIC codes of manufacturing or mining (but not ANZSIC group 070 Oil and Gas Extraction), be an Australian entity, and hold all relevant insurances.
The abatement project must:
- occur at a facility in NSW that reported under the NGER Scheme for 2024-25
- not be a Safeguard facility
- reduce the facility’s emissions by at least 1,000 tCO2e per year of scope 1 and/or scope 2 every year of operation
- be fully operational on or before 30 June 2030
- include continuous and proven co-investment by the applicant of at least 50% of eligible costs
- align with the facility’s strategy for business operations at or above its current operating capacity beyond 2030
- deliver emissions reduction that does not result from a decrease in production or safety
- deliver emissions reduction that exceeds any applicable legislative requirements
- and require NSW Government funding to proceed, significantly shorten the implementation timeframe or increase the scale of the abatement
Projects should start by 1 January 2027 and be completed by 30 June 2030.
