Emissions fund open

The 14th round of the Low Emissions Transport Fund (LETF) has opened for applications with up to $4 million available.

It supports investment in a range of innovative technologies and infrastructure to encourage emissions reduction across a range of New Zealand sectors.

The fund will consider proposals for new demonstration projects, innovations and significant new-use cases. Project proposals for this round can be in the areas of:

• Off-road battery electric vehicles and related technologies or services.

• Marine vessels, electric outboard motors and charging infrastructure to service marine projects.

• Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles and other technologies – potentially in scope if they make use of New Zealand’s renewable electricity advantage.

The co-funding will cover up to 50 per cent of project costs up to $500,000. Applications close on September 9. Projects must be a minimum of $50,000 in total core project costs to qualify. Click here to find out more.
