Investing in tech with potential to help heavy industries reduce their emissions

Cleaner mining starts with tackling fugitive methane: the greenhouse gas released during coal mining operations that has historically been difficult to capture and destroy. LETA is investing in projects like the Mining3 Catalytic VAM Abatement Commercialisation Program, a technology aiming to break down methane from ventilation air at the source.

Investing in tech with the potential to help heavy industries reduce their emissions

Cleaner manufacturing starts with reducing and capturing CO2. The processes that underpin heavy industries are energy-intensive and it can be difficult to reduce emissions using conventional approaches. LETA invests in technologies aimed at helping to address this challenge. One example is GTI Energy's ROTA-CAP™ tech - a system that captures carbon from industrial processes. Designed to be smaller, cheaper, and more easily integrated into existing operations, the goal is to demonstrate how carbon capture can be made more practical and scalable for Australian industry.

Investing in tech with potential to help the industries that build our world reduce emissions

Cleaner cement and steel making starts with reducing and capturing the CO2. Cement and steel are essential for buildings, roads, and bridges in Australia. They are also among the most technically challenging industries to reduce emissions from, which is where investment in new tech matters most. LETA is investing in projects aimed at new ways to reduce these emissions, like the KC8 PACER Project, an Australian-led tech already being trialled under real industrial conditions at Cement Australia's Gladstone kiln.
