It’s National Recycling Week. How can we ensure resources don’t end up wasted in landfill?
 
The CEFC has made several investment commitments to demonstrate how reusing, repurposing and recycling can keep waste out of landfill and make inroads on emissions.
 
We’re helping recover metals from batteries and construction materials that can be repurposed, while turning organic waste into compost and giving plastics potentially infinite lives.

Congratulations to the Best Tall Building in the world!
 
It’s great to see that the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) has recognised Quay Quarter Tower from the Mirvac Wholesale Office Fund as the Best Tall Building Worldwide in 2023.

The transformation of the building now known as Quay Quarter Tower proves that old can be made new again and even better. 

The QQT refurbishment, one of the biggest building upcycling projects attempted, demonstrates how building owners can get greater performance out of existing structures.

Our investment in the Mirvac Wholesale Office Fund is helping set a new benchmark for the commercial property sector in Australia. Find out how here:

A ground-breaking achievement for green hydrogen
 
Congratulations Ark Energy Corporation on the official ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of Stage 1 of the SunHQ Hydrogen Hub.
 
SunHQ will be one of the largest fully integrated, green hydrogen production and refuelling facilities in Australia. It will involve a 1 MW polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser that will produce green hydrogen from a behind-the-meter connection to the co-located 124 MW Sun Metals Solar Farm in Townville in Queensland.
 
The CEFC is supporting the green hydrogen project with a commitment of $12.5 million that was announced in 2021.
 
CEFC CEO Ian Learmonth congratulated Ark Energy on its leadership in the hydrogen sector with SunHQ contributing to reducing emissions and supporting the reduction of carbon in the zinc supply chain.
