Policy and Capital Alignment Narrative- CEWT/Carbon recycling Technology

Policy and Capital Alignment Narrative – CEWT / Carbon Recycling Technology (CRT) Australia’s energy transition has entered a new phase in which delivery, not aspiration, is the defining test. Policymakers increasingly recognise that achieving net-zero objectives at scale cannot be realised through public funding or policy instruments alone, but requires the systematic mobilisation of private capital into bankable, confidence-preserving infrastructure. This shift is reflected in contemporary sustainable-finance thinking, where private capital is now explicitly integrated into policy frameworks as a critical enabler of transition delivery, alongside the need for partnership models that maintain market confidence and international competitiveness . In this context, governments are no longer seeking isolated technology pilots or intermittent solutions, but commercially investable systems capable of underpinning long-term industrial, electricity, and export competitiveness. Clean Energy and Water Technologies Pty Ltd (CEWT)’s Carbon Recycling Technology (CRT) is directly aligned with this policy evolution. CRT is designed as infrastructure-grade, zero-emission energy capacity, not as an offset mechanism, voluntary abatement project, or subsidy-dependent concept. By combining proven combined-cycle power generation, carbon capture, and closed-loop carbon conversion using renewable hydrogen, CRT delivers dispatchable, baseload electricity and renewable fuels while progressively eliminating fossil-carbon dependency from the system. Critically, CRT is structured to meet the requirements of private capital participation: • Long-life assets using established industrial equipment • Predictable revenue streams from firm power and fuel substitution • Clear system boundaries that enable credible carbon accounting • Compatibility with blended finance models involving concessional public capital and commercial debt and equity In this way, CRT does not rely on policy support to substitute for market discipline; rather, it operationalises policy intent by translating climate objectives into bankable infrastructure capable of attracting institutional capital at scale. Public funding, where applied, acts as a catalyst for risk reduction, not as the primary driver of project viability. Accordingly, CEWT’s CRT projects represent the class of transition investments now explicitly recognised by policymakers as essential: projects that preserve energy security, maintain competitiveness, and enable private capital to participate confidently in the delivery of net-zero outcomes.
