Natural Resources and Energy Technologies
The Technology Innovation Agency (TIA) is calling for the submission of funding applications for developing innovative natural resource and energy technologies. The technological focus areas include:
Natural Resources
- Water and Sanitation: Digitisation for water and wastewater treatment plants, water leak, sanitation and operations efficiency technologies.
- Circular Economy: Waste to energy, alternative packaging to replace plastic.
- Mining and Minerals: Mining support technologies that enhance minerals beneficiation, mining digitisation and the support the implementation of low carbon footprint in mining.
Energy
- Technologies to combat the immediate effects of loadshedding: Microgrids, smart grids, energy management systems, energy efficiency, energy storage, generators, solar panels and inverters.
- Just Energy Transition: Decarbonisation, e-mobility, hydrogen, lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells.
