The University of Newcastle is among the beneficiaries of a $15 million state government investment to establish a decarbonisation innovation hub to help fast-track research, development and commercialisation of low emissions technologies.
The university's Institute for Energy and Resources (NIER) will co-host the Hub with the University of NSW.
The project is funded by a grant from the NSW Environmental Trust, with significant industry and university partner co-contributions.
