Supporting a greener future on our roads through the implementation of dynamic wireless power transfer technology, enabling the usage of electric heavy vehicles. ACE Infrastructure will collaborate with leading researchers, international providers (SIEMENS and SEA Electric) and road authority (ARRB). This innovation will reduce 38% of Australia's total transport emissions, significantly aiding in the accomplishment of the 2050 Net-Zero targets while also providing a projected $324.8 billion to the Australian economy.
Wind power provides 35% of Australia’s green energy, yet 30,000 tonnes of wind turbine blades (WTBs) are expected to be in landfill by 2025. To keep green energy green, IPM is collaborating with RMIT to recycle thermoset resins and reinforced fibres in composite WTBs.
Currently, less than 5% of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is recycled despite an annual consumption of 500,000 tonnes by Australia. The development of a dissolution technique that separates the PVC from waste components, allows the creation of virgin-grade PVC. Subsequently, this recycled PVC can be reused, facilitating a myriad of environmental, economic and social benefits.
Polystyrene (PS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) are the most common packing materials. However, their incredibly low density makes them incredibly difficult to recycle. This project will convert PS/EPS waste into high-value materials. On-site PS/EPS waste production will stimulate Australian sovereign capability and deliver environmental benefits through the completion of a circular economy.
Pancreatic Cancer is typically diagnosed in advanced stages, and by 2030, it will be the second leading cause of cancer deaths. NanoCube strives to combat this with its Duobots™ technology which provides diagnosis of pancreatic cancer at stage 0 and delivers targeted drug delivery. This innovation won the Major Technology Award at SWSX Sydney 2023 and represented Australia at SWSX internationally in Austin, Texas.
AdraCard is developing a patented prototype of their credit card shaped, nasal drug delivery platform. The innovation increases accessibility and combats issues with auto-injection devices. Incredibly easy to transport, AdraCard seamlessly fits into a wallet or phone case with no necessity for specific temperature control. Additionally, the device combats problems with needle phobia and improper self-administration with existing allergy drug delivery devices.
Pyrolysis is the main green process to upcycle end-of-life-tyre (EOLT) waste to produce diesel, oil, steel wires while forming char by-products. The consequent pyrolytic tyre char is a carbon-rich solid material has inorganic contaminants and undesirable structure, considerably decreasing its value and market potential. This innovation will combat these difficulties, delivering high-quality char for tyres and construction materials.
Australia's wastewater treatment produces 1.5m wet tonnes of biosolids annually, with over 70% used on agricultural land. These biosolids contain 'forever chemicals’ (PFAS) which have severe detrimental health impacts, declared as a class one carcinogen by WHO in 2023. The recently introduced National Environment Management Action Plan 3.0 calls for stringent regulation of PFAS levels. Aquametro aims to upcycle biolsolids which retain nutrients and carbon while eliminating PFAS.
