WesCEF’s 2050 net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 target depends on the deployment of a combination of solutions, including new and emerging technologies.

WesCEF collaborates and partners with industry and researchers to identify, study and deploy low-emissions technologies and solutions, including with:

• Australian and state governments to accelerate implementation and investment in low-emissions technology
• APA Group and the Parmelia Green Hydrogen Project to investigate the feasibility of a large-scale renewable hydrogen production facility south of Kwinana, Western Australia. This project received funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) as part of ARENA's Advancing Renewables Program
• Jupiter Ionics, as part of a consortium to develop novel green ammonia technology, to deploy small scale units to produce distributed green ammonia from renewable energy
• Monash University, as part of the Australian Research Council Research Hub for Carbon Utilisation and Recycling to develop technologies to transform carbon dioxide emissions into useful products from the manufacturing and energy sectors
• Mitsui E&P Australia, to study low-emissions ammonia solutions, including a carbon capture and storage project. A successful carbon dioxide injection test was completed during the year at Mitsui E&P Australia’s proposed carbon storage facility in Dongara, Western Australia. This project is now preparing for front-end engineering design.
  

These partnerships aim to reduce uncertainty relating to WesCEF’s net zero roadmap and accelerate commercialisation of technologies detailed in its net zero roadmap.
