In announcing the fund, the Environment Minister stated that the "State Government believes WA should become a world leader in low emissions technologies."
‘This commitment by the State Government is great news for the Australian state with arguably the world's best solar resource, some of the world's best on-land wind resources, and expansive opportunities in base-load capable biomass, wave and geothermal energy,' says Prof. Ray Wills, SEA Chief Executive.
Previous rounds of LEED funding has supported a wave energy power station, geothermal cooling, oil mallee harvester and bio-algae oil production projects.
‘Western Australia is uniquely placed in developing integrated energy solutions, particularly around small to mid-scale renewable energy generation in remote and off-grid areas. Support for new projects in sustainable energy will require new jobs in the education, research, government, business and community sectors and has a significant potential market for this across Australia and throughout many regions globally,' says Prof Wills.
