Clean Energy &
Sustainability

We support cleantech and sustainability innovators in exploring, de-risking, and shaping early-stage ideas into validated prototypes. We can:

• Provide access to Griffith’s labs for lifecycle analysis, systems modelling, and proof-of-concept testing, including renewables integration, hydrogen, smart grids, and bioproducts
• Connect you with experts in environmental engineering, energy systems, green materials, and climate resilience through Griffith’s Climate Action Beacon, Cities Research Institute, and School of Engineering
• Enable collaboration in clean manufacturing, low-carbon tech, green infrastructure, and urban climate adaptation
• Facilitate co-design workshops with councils, utilities, ESG investors, and infrastructure partners to align with real-world policy and regulatory needs
• Support IP strategy, licensing, and early-stage funding through Griffith Enterprise
• Link you with programs like the Circular Economy Lab, Trade & Investment Queensland, and sustainability-focused accelerators
• Offer early access to prototyping tools, testing rigs, and microgrid simulation platforms

We help build commercially focused, scalable solutions for a sustainable future.

We can help cleantech innovators move from lab validation to functional prototypes and pilot-ready systems. Whether you’re working on solar-hydrogen, battery storage, bioproducts, or digital energy tools, we support real-world integration and readiness. We can:

• Support advanced prototyping and system integration through Griffith’s engineering and testing facilities, including smart grid simulations, energy modelling, and structural prototyping
• Enable collaboration with experts from the Cities Research Institute, Climate Action Beacon, and Environmental Futures Research Institute across microgrids, water-sensitive design, and nature-based solutions
• Facilitate co-design with councils, utilities, and infrastructure partners to meet deployment and regulatory requirements
• Connect you to Griffith’s Urban Living Lab and smart precinct pilots for real-world evaluation
• Guide product engineering, safety compliance, and environmental certification, including lifecycle and sustainability assessments
• Provide commercialisation support through Griffith Enterprise, refining value propositions, pricing models, and sustainability ROI

We help you de-risk development and position your product for scale and impact.

We help clean energy and sustainability companies pilot and validate technologies in real-world conditions, supporting operational testing, impact measurement, and data generation to build confidence and demonstrate value. We can:

• Facilitate pilot deployments in operational or semi-controlled environments (renewable sites, microgrids, urban infrastructure, or water treatment facilities) through Griffith’s Urban Living Lab and Cities Research Institute
• Support performance monitoring and optimisation with access to experts in environmental science, energy systems, and geospatial analytics
• Enable regulatory readiness and environmental reporting, including carbon offset validation, ESG metrics, LCA, and certifications like NABERS, Green Star, and IS Rating
• Connect you with councils, utilities, and developers to explore commercial-scale deployment
• Provide platforms for stakeholder engagement to gather feedback from communities, investors, and end users

By embedding pilots in live environments, we help you validate impact, refine your value proposition, and prepare for market-ready scale.

We can support clean energy and sustainability companies to scale from pilot to commercial launch—connecting innovation with production, compliance, and market traction. We can:

• Provide access to Griffith’s advanced manufacturing and prototyping facilities, including pilot production, additive manufacturing, and scalable process design
• Facilitate collaboration with researchers in cleantech, sustainable engineering, and industrial design to optimise performance and manufacturing efficiency
• Support product certification and regulatory compliance, including safety standards, renewable energy regulations, and carbon reporting
• Connect you with supply chain partners, infrastructure operators, and anchor customers for contracts, distribution, or offtake agreements
• Link you to ESG-aligned investors, green capital funds, and state/federal scale-up programs (e.g. ARENA, CEFC, QIC)
• Offer branding and communications support to position your solution for councils, corporates, and infrastructure providers

We help transition your product from prototype to production-ready, equipped for sustainable growth, funding, and market success.

We help clean energy and sustainability companies scale adoption, grow exports, and align with policy and procurement priorities to drive long-term commercial success. We can:

• Facilitate engagement with government buyers, infrastructure providers, and utilities to support adoption through clean procurement, circular economy programs, and net-zero strategies
• Connect you with policy experts, regulatory advisors, and sustainability strategists from Griffith’s Climate Action Beacon, Cities Research Institute, and industry networks to align with emerging mandates (e.g. carbon neutrality, circularity, nature-positive development)
• Provide access to export and investment support via Trade and Investment Queensland and INVEST Gold Coast, including market insights, soft landing programs, and trade missions
• Support participation in government tenders, ESG procurement frameworks, and national/international demonstration projects
• Enable entry into investment rounds, commercialisation networks, and climate finance platforms via GCHKP and clean tech accelerators

We help you embed your innovation into real-world systems, accelerating adoption, impact, and global market success.
