This grant aims
to assist Queensland-based organisations to develop innovative
technologies that reduce consumption of fossil fuels, water or
greenhouse gas emissions.
Two specific
areas covered by the Queensland Sustainable Energy Innovation Fund
(QSEIF) are energy and water savings (though some projects are
intended to yield both energy and water savings).
For energy
projects, the type of technologies eligible for QSEIF funding
include those that:
-
are more
energy-efficient and reduce energy use;
-
replace
fossil fuels with renewable energy sources;
-
substitute
biomass or waste for fossil fuels;
-
reduce
greenhouse gas resulting from use of fossil fuels.
For water
projects, the type of technologies eligible for QSEIF funding
include those that:
-
enable grey
water, rainwater, waste water or seawater to be utilised more
effectively to reduce consumption of potable water;
-
minimise or
eliminate leaks or water wastage;
-
substitute
recycled or low-grade water for potable water in industrial
processes;
-
improving
efficiency in producing, treating, recycling or utilising
water.
Who can
apply
Applicants must
be Queensland-based organisations, and the main project activities
must be undertaken within Queensland.
QSEIF
encourages collaboration between the applicant organisation and one
or more project partners. Applicants may contract technological
development to an external research institution, university,
consulting group or another company. Max: $200,000.
