Our aim is to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, whilst creating jobs and economic growth in NSW on a massive scale.

The Hub and its Networks support, accelerate, and attract investment to decarbonisation tech and services in NSW. We foster collaboration, partnerships and projects between industry, researchers and government to drive decarbonisation forward in NSW and beyond.

 

 

Working Towards Net Zero

Reaching ‘net zero’ means there’s an equal balance between the carbon emissions produced from all sectors, and the emissions being taken out of the atmosphere. Greenhouse gas emissions need to be as low as possible to avoid climate catastrophe.

The NSW Government’s Net Zero Plan aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 - increasing widespread use of renewable energy sources, while growing the economy and creating jobs. The NSW Decarbonisation Innovation Hub was created to accelerate this process by facilitating and supporting projects within our three Networks.
