On 25 February 2019 the Australian Government established a Climate Solutions Fund to provide an additional $2 billion to continue purchasing low-cost abatement, build on the success of the Emissions Reduction Fund and continue the momentum to reach Australia’s 2030 emissions reduction target.

This regulation amends the Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Regulations 2010 to improve the operation of the Commercial Building Disclosure (CBD) Programme by introducing new exemption categories, allowing for a range of training providers to be appointed for the training of CBD assessors, and implementing minor technical amendments flowing from the Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Amendment Act 2015.

The ABIR program was launched in response to an Advanced Biofuels Study conducted in 2011. The program is supporting pre-commercial projects in Australia that will produce high energy renewable fuels that can be ‘dropped-in’ to existing infrastructure. The ABIR program is closed and no further assessments under this program will be undertaken.

The Gen 2 Program was a competitive grants program which supported the research, development and demonstration of new biofuel technologies and feedstocks that address the sustainable development of a biofuels industry in Australia. Applications for the Gen 2 Program closed on 30 January 2009.
