This project will deliver the efficient conversion of such waste to high-energy-density liquid fuel using catalytic, low temperature and low pressure depolymerisation. Key to this will be the development of strategies, informed by detailed technoeconomic analysis, to optimise the process, maximise the energy efficiency and bridge the commercialisation valley of death.

The project will develop a commercial analytics platform integrating multiple linked health datasets (Pharmaceuticals Benefits Schedule, Medicare Benefits Schedule and other data) for the Medical Technology and Pharmaceutical sector.

The proposal is for a one off grant that meets part of Australia's agreed 2018 contribution to the Square Kilometre Array Organisation. The Australian Government, through the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, is a member of the SKAO, which is based in the United Kingdom, and has agreed to make annual contributions to support its operations.

This project aims to produce an airborne gravimeter (GTz) integrated with Doppler lidar to dramatically improve the spatial resolution of the data, remove limits on the range of data acquisition, and introduce the ability to view the data from anywhere in the world in real-time.

The Green Dispensary Pty Ltd will expand its production capability of custom medicines and pharmaceuticals through investment in new plant and equipment and related building modifications at Norwood and St Peters, SA.

To provide support to the Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers Australia New Zealand Ltd (CREST ANZ) to grow the pool of CREST ANZ Approved Members and to expand its range of cyber security services.

The goal of the project is to design, build and market flexible, thin, printed batteries that can be packaged as stand-alone products or as integrated components for other products. The key point of this strategy is to bypass the traditional battery technologies by providing a physically flexible battery that can be made with very inexpensive materials in virtually any format using a high speed, inexpensive manufacturing.

A National Low Emissions Coal Initiative grant has been awarded to investigate the potential economic and emissions reduction benefits of a low emission technology

Grant funding provided for the recipient to expand Australia's diaspora community, including Australians living abroad and non-Australians who had an Australian education, to (i) provide opportunities for diaspora to excel in their careers overseas and (ii) empower diaspora to engage and help to further Australia's national interest.

The project designs and builds the next generation O-Drive (O-Drive2), a power hub for multiple ocean energy converters (wave or tidal currents).

The project will develop a new tool to automatically collect reliable, objective and high resolution geological, structural and geotechnical data at the drill rig, enabling fusing with interoperable data available to the mining industry.

The project involves the expansion in manufacturing capacity of acrylamide at SNF (Australia) Pty Ltd's facility in Lara, Victoria

Faster, objective detection and monitoring of the severity of head trauma and it's complications is critical for better outcomes. This CRC-P will develop affordable and efficient care pathways extending from the playing field (or point of injury) to recovery by validating EVestG and other magnetic-based neurotechnologies ability to quantify changes in the brain after injury.

This Co-operative Research Centtre-P will develop a world-leading driver monitoring product that will enable the freight industry to monitor and improve driver safety and wellbeing, in ways not currently possible, resulting in significant economic gains. National and international regulation of this technology will make Australian industry a leader in this global market.

Global climate change action requires large reductions in CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. Mineral carbonation has the potential to store billions of tonnes of CO2 safely and permanently. This CRC-P project investigates the commercial potential to transform CO2 into stable solid carbonates for the construction industry. The project focusses on a novel mineral carbonation process for directly capturing and storing CO2 from raw flue gas and building a research pilot plant to prove the viability.

SMR has identified a global opportunity in point of care biosensors. A,diagnostic device for non-invasive early detection of urothelial cancers, at a technology readiness level to begin industrialisation. The project will create manufacturing capability for this biosensor platform, conduct clinical trials and prepare this point of care device for market.

The project will secure the pathway for business investment in regional Australia to utilise an undervalued waste product from intensive animal industries to create a highly valuable agricultural resource – improving agricultural productivity, environmental management, financial returns, and employment opportunities.

Australia has a pioneering heritage and internationally recognised capability in the development and flight testing of hypersonic air breathing engines (scramjets). A major barrier to commercialising this technology is that Australian designed scramjet engines are exclusively hydrogen fuelled. Hydrocarbon fuel is required for commercial deployment due to challenges of hydrogen usage. This project solves this problem by developing new technology to fuel scramjets with liquid hydrocarbons.

Seeley International Pty Ltd will invest in advanced manufacturing processes to increase capacity and improve the efficiency of its production of evaporative coolers and Climate Wizard air conditioners at its facility in Lonsdale, SA.

Xlam Australia Pty Ltd will establish Australia's first cross laminated timber (CLT) manufacturing facility at Wodonga, Victoria, producing an engineered wood product capable of replacing concrete in building structures.

MagniX has unique capabilities and proven intellectual property in high power density electric motors suited to aircraft propulsion. This project will optimise motor design, thermal management and advanced materials to manufacture a motor with a power density exceeding 5kW/kg.

Bickford's Australia Pty Ltd will establish an Ultra-Clean beverage manufacturing line at its premises in Salisbury South, SA, supporting highly flexible manufacturing operations and innovative beverage and packaging options

Intervet Australia Pty Ltd will purchase a range of equipment to replace and upgrade its existing laboratory equipment at its facility in Bendigo, Victoria.

Perovskite solar cells (PSC), a game-changing 3rd-gen renewable energy innovation, have projected costs much lower than incumbent PV. PSC has greater than 22% efficiency at lab scale and is nano-engineered from tiny amounts of cheap, abundant materials using simple solution coating manufacturing.

Ellex Medical Pty Ltd will invest in advanced equipment and systems as part of an expansion of its ophthalmic medical device manufacturing capacity, also involving relocation from Adelaide, SA to new premises in Salisbury, SA.
