About Us

CarbonRE is a Perth-based Renewable Energy project developer focused on providing Renewable Energy solutions to industrial power consumers in Western Australia.

Our mission is to collaborate with high-emitting industries to deliver projects that meet their industrial decarbonisation goals while contributing to the decarbonisation of the SWIS power grid.

CarbonTP, Sunrise Energy and Infrakey founded CarbonRE to combine their Energy Transition expertise and provide a unique approach to the RE development sector.

CarbonRE combines decades of Renewable Energy development and project delivery experience with knowledge in significant infrastructure development, project finance, stakeholder management and industrial decarbonisation.

We are passionate about accelerating the Energy Transition.

Western Australia has an abundance of Renewable Energy resources that can be harnessed to both decarbonise and expand the existing power grid. 

WA’s Energy Transition will be powered by Renewable Energy, and CarbonRE is developing projects to accelerate this change.

CarbonRE pursues Renewable Energy project opportunities in WA that are commercially viable, practical and have a realistic schedule for project startup. 

This starts with a deep understanding of the WA SWIS market, its constraints and opportunities. 

CarbonRE also understands the commercial drivers for industrial decarbonisation amongst Western Australia’s largest emitters and is working with industrial clients to develop viable emissions reduction pathways.
