The Federal Government has launched an interactive map which shows the extent of investment in clean energy projects across Australia.
The Clean Energy Map features more than 1200 projects which are helping the environment by cutting greenhouse gas emissions and helping the economy by reducing energy costs, investing in innovative new technologies and creating new jobs.
The Clean Energy Map is a one-stop-shop for people wanting to find information on clean energy projects. Visitors can enter their postcode, or use GPS functionality, to find information on projects in their region or neighbourhood.
Another option is to search under refrigeration or other key HVAC search words.
The Minister for Climate Change, Industry and Innovation, Greg Combet said revenue from the carbon price is funding a range of renewable energy projects to tackle climate change.
"Manufacturers are using carbon price revenue to invest in new equipment ranging from cogeneration plants to new refrigeration technologies, delivering significant cost savings," he said.
The Map includes projects being carried out under measures such as the Renewable Energy Target, Solar Cities, Energy Efficiency Information Grants, the Carbon Farming Initiative and the Clean Technology Programs.
It shows the Clean Technology Programs, for instance, are supporting 223 projects at manufacturing businesses around the country.
These projects will drive more than $338 million in investment in energy efficient equipment, delivering cost savings of more than $30 million each year.
On average, these projects are reducing manufacturers' emissions intensity - the amount of pollution emitted for each unit of output - by nearly 50 per cent.
