Low Emissions Technology and Abatement
The Low Emissions Technology and Abatement (LETA) initiative is a $26.9 million measure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the longer term by supporting the identification and implementation of cost effective abatement opportunities and the uptake of small scale low emission technologies in business, industry and local communities.
LETA will support projects in these sub-programme areas:
- Strategic Abatement - Identification of Opportunities - Funds are available for industry on a sector wide basis to identify opportunities for emission reductions.
- Strategic Abatement - Local Government and Communities - The objective of this sub-programme is to achieve cost effective abatement at the community level. More information....
- Renewables - The LETA Renewables sub-programme will complement existing climate change measures by supporting broad industry development projects and national projects as set out in the Commonwealth/State Renewable Remote Power Generation Programme (RRPGP) Partnership Agreements. Projects supported under this sub-programme may be proposed by eligible State and Territory Government agencies, renewable energy industry associations or related institutions. More information on RRPGP
- Geosequestration: Pilot Project - Funds will be provided to demonstrate enhanced monitoring and verification technologies for geosequestration in Australia.
