REPORT: Industrial transition investment reaches $35bn as capital shifts to green manufacturing

Analysis indicates that Australian investment in low-emissions technologies has grown 12x to $35.2 billion since 2020, stabilising at around $8 billion per annum, with capital shifting into large-scale industrial applications, led by green manufacturing.

RepuTex’s Australian Decarbonisation Investment Review (April 2026) tracks capital flows across 8 technology groups, 26 sectors and 30+ activity pathways, providing a project-level view of investment across the industrial transition.

Analysis captures committed investment in active projects and prospective pipeline investment, including coverage of technology maturity, funding sources, regional & sectoral trends, and greenhouse gas emissions abatement potential.

Findings indicate that investment in Australia’s industrial transition is shifting from mature to emerging technologies, with capital concentrating in areas such as green steel and hydrogen-linked value chains. With more than 200 projects in development or operational, the pipeline represents a substantial volume of potential emissions reductions, though only a small portion is currently tied to projects that have reached FID.
