Council is working with A2EP (Australian Alliance for Energy Productivity) and RACE to 2030 for Business on decarbonisation and waste heat recovery technologies. Council is promoting the Australian Industry Renewable Heat Accelerator to businesses with large natural gas use. Through the provision of grant funding for pre-feasibility studies and small-scale pilots, this initiative is focussed on helping Australian manufacturers transition from gas to renewable heat to lower costs and increase business resilience. Council is seeking advice from suppliers and assisting businesses to investigate the feasibility of electric heat pumps for process heating instead of gas.
