The Australian Government provided funding through the Low Emissions Technology Demonstration Fund (LETDF) to help Australian firms commercialise world-leading low emissions technologies. The objective of the LETDF was to demonstrate the commercial potential of new energy technologies or processes or the application of overseas technologies or processes to Australian circumstances to deliver long-term large-scale greenhouse gas emission reductions, through:
- the demonstration of the commercial potential of new energy technologies or processes
- the application of overseas technologies or processes to Australian circumstances.
The LETDF is managed by the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism. Round One of the LETDF closed on 31 March 2006, no further funding rounds will be held.
Five projects are being funded under the program
