ERA claims since launching, it has committed $646 million to 204 projects worth over $4.5 billion.
The challenge, launched in June 2020, was open to projects that support competitiveness and stimulate growth in the agriculture, agri-food, fibre, and forestry sectors. Combined with private sector investment, the total combined value of these projects is $107 million. The tech projects are expected to lead to a cumulative 2.7 million tonnes of CO2 emissions reductions by 2030.
