Our investment

The CEFC made investment commitments of $10.76 billion in its first decade, across some 265 large-scale transactions. Together with institutional investors, business, industry and cleantech innovators, these investments catalysed $37.15 billion in investment in Australia’s low emissions economy.  

Estimated lifetime emissions from our investment commitments are expected to exceed 200 MtCO2-e, buoyed by landmark investments in the hard-to-abate industrial sector in the 12 months to 30 June 2022. 

In 2021-22, the CEFC delivered another year of sustained investment activity, with new investment commitments of $1.45 billion, attracting an additional $2.30 for each dollar of CEFC finance invested. 

We end our first 10 years with access to $4.57 billion in investment capital from the Australian Government, in addition to the ongoing returns from our investment commitments. 

As we look to the decade ahead, we are committed to putting this capital to work in investments that will enable Australia to capture the many benefits of the low emissions economy - while also addressing our emissions challenge.
