-- This prestigious grant, facilitated by the Department of Industry, Science, and Resources, provides AU$80,000 to support Clean TeQ Water’s innovative efforts to revolutionise drinking water treatment for remote communities. The grant will fund a feasibility study to assess the potential of NematiQ Graphene Membranes as a solution for drinking water treatment.
The project, “Graphene Membranes: Revolutionising Drinking Water for Remote Communities”, will explore the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of our advanced Graphene Membrane technology. It aims to improve water quality in underserved and remote areas, demonstrate the scalability and environmental benefits of Graphene Membranes, and lay the groundwork for a potential proof-of-concept phase, where up to AU$1M of funding for real-world field trials and pilot implementation is expected to be available for the projects deemed most feasible.

“This grant reflects our commitment to addressing critical water challenges through cutting-edge technology,” says Clean TeQ Water Sales Manager Will McLean.
“We are excited to work with the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water to pioneer solutions that can bring lasting benefits to remote communities.”
Scheduled to take place between December 2024 and May 2025, the program will evaluate the ability of Graphene Membranes to remove contaminants often found in the drinking water supplies of remote communities, including bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and organic pollutants. The feasibility study will also include a preliminary economic and sustainability analysis for deploying graphene-based water treatment systems in remote settings.
Stay tuned for updates as Clean TeQ Water advances this exciting initiative to shape a more sustainable and inclusive future for water treatment!
