TRANSPORT Minister Simon O’Brien has launched the State Centre for Research into Energy for Sustainable Transport (CREST) at Murdoch University, Western Australia.
The project is backed by $2.29 million in public funds and aimed at helping the university bring together the State’s leading researchers in transport fuels and technologies.
The facility will provide more relevant, timely information to policy makers to help increase community and government participation in developing national transport policy and strategy.
O’Brien says the government is committed to fostering the development of new transport technologies, improving environmental efficiencies and sustainable productivity is one way of doing this.
Transport currently accounts for 14% of national greenhouse gas emissions, the third largest sector.
