Sustainable Food Production

The Australian market for food and beverage processing is significantly growing and there is increased demand for sustainable solutions. The food and beverage industry is one of the largest and most important sectors of the Australian economy and accounts for approx. 30% of the domestic manufacturing sales and service income. Australia seek to accelerate the green transition in this sector which provides opportunities for Danish solutions to optimize manufacturing capabilities and energy efficiency towards sustainable and circular economy principles. Government policies and industry initiatives support this shift towards sustainability, promoting investment in research and technology to develop more efficient and eco-friendly production methods.

Green Build & Urban Development

The Australian market for building and urban development is significantly growing and with the country’s increased commitments to energy efficiency, decarbonisation and circular economy the direction and requirements of the sector is going green. Government regulations and incentives encourage developers and home owners to adopt sustainable building practices and comprehensive retrofitting strategies, offering subsidies for projects that paves the way towards Australia’s net-zero goals. There is an urge for climate action & resilience as well as a desire to become a global player in the urban green transition. This positions Danish expertise in energy efficiency, urban sustainability, architecture and engineering as valuable solutions- and knowledge partners for Australian stakeholders moving the land down under much closer to Denmark than the world map suggests.

Renewable Energy

The sector for renewable energy is growing in Australia with a supportive regulatory environment. With several onshore wind facilities installed and offshore wind and Power-to-X facilities in the pipeline in many states, the country is on a trajectory to transition towards using primarily renewable energy sources which provides opportunities for Danish solutions. Supportive government policies, including renewable energy targets, incentives and various state-based schemes, have encouraged investment in renewable energy projects fostering a competitive marketplace for renewable energy development.

Power-to-X (Green Hydrogen) 

Australia has some of the best wind and solar resources in the world to produce renewable energy, combined with Australia’s massive landmasses conditions are ideal for green hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX) projects. On a national level, PtX is seen as a key to transition jobs from the fossil fuel industry (coal, gas and mining) in to a green economy and the sector is therefore getting substantial funding. Australia has a A$230-300bn pipeline of announced PtX projects representing around 40% of global announcements and the government has an ambition to be a global hydrogen leader by 2030.

Other sectors

Health and Life Science

Australia’s Health and Life Science sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in Australia and is evolving with a focus on sustainability and innovation. Due to demand for a full range of sophisticated medical equipment and an expectation for state-of-the-art medical treatment, there is a continuing need for high quality, innovative medical products. This provides opportunities for Danish solutions.

Sustainable Mining

The market for sustainable mining in Australia has been growing steadily due to increased emphasis on environmental responsibility and ethical resource extraction. Australia, as a significant player in the global mining industry, has seen a rising demand for sustainable practices in mining operations. This includes initiatives focused on reducing carbon emissions, water conservation, land rehabilitation, and community engagement. Stakeholders, including investors, governments, and consumers, are increasingly favoring companies that prioritize sustainable mining practices, leading to the adoption of technologies and strategies that minimize environmental impact while maximizing resource extraction efficiency.

Water and Environment

Australia is the driest inhabited continent on Earth and the increasing population in the country has led to rising demand for clean and safe drinking water, which is propelling the growth of the market. The Australian government have submitted initiatives for promoting efficient water management which are expected to create opportunities for potential players in this sector. Among others, the Australian Government’s commitment towards sustainable practices has propelled investment in wastewater infrastructure projects such as sewerage networks and rainwater tanks across all major cities. In addition, various industries are increasingly focusing on managing, preserving, and improving the country's water resources and environmental quality.
