Western Australia's third round of the Carbon Innovation Grants Program is now open, with $3.2 million available for feasibility studies and pilot projects that cut emissions in heavy industry. The program is part of the state's push toward net zero by 2050, and applications close December 11. The first two rounds allocated about $9.5 million to 15 projects with an estimated combined value of roughly $60 million. That suggests the grants are bringing in co-investment. For operators looking to test lower-emission technologies, this is one of the more direct state funding routes in WA right now.
