Announced today, seven Tasmanian projects will receive government funding under the Climate Change Business Innovation Grants program to help reduce emissions across the state.
Minister for Environment, Madeleine Ogilvie, said the program's successful applications were of high quality and demonstrated a commitment to delivering measurable emissions reductions.
"This program backs small and medium sized enterprises to reduce emissions, build resilience and share practical solutions," Minister Ogilvie said.
"It will help businesses prepare for the future while strengthening local capability.
"This was a highly competitive process, and we're pleased to be awarding more than $550,000 in grants."
Minister Ogilvie said the successful projects spanned various sectors, including waste management, hospitality, advanced manufacturing, tourism, commercial heating and cooling, aquaculture, and agriculture.
"The outcomes we're targeting are tangible and measurable," Minister Ogilvie said.
"This includes reducing methane and food waste, cutting refrigerant and transport emissions, improving energy and water security, and building resilience to ocean warming."
The Climate Change Business Innovation Grants provide individual grants from $25,000 to $100,000. Successful applicants must contribute at least 30 per cent of the approved grant funding amount as a cash co-contribution, ensuring a strong partnership and a shared commitment to delivery within an 18 month timeframe.
The program is an initiative under Tasmania's Emissions Reduction and Resilience Roadmap 2024-29, supporting the transition to a low emissions, climate resilient economy.
