The landscape of Australian manufacturing just got a $20 million adrenaline shot. Launched at Capral Aluminium’s Smithfield plant in NSW, the “Made Right Here” campaign is more than just a patriotic slogan—it’s a signal that the Australian Government is doubling down on local, low-carbon industrial sovereignty.
For Australian businesses, this isn't just about a logo; it’s about supply chain resilience and decarbonization.
Capral Aluminium: The Low-Carbon Pioneer
Capral isn't just hosting the party; they are the blueprint. As Australia’s largest aluminium extruder, their LocAl® range is redefining what "Aussie Made" looks like in 2026:
Ultra-Low Footprint: Certified emissions significantly below the global average.
Circular Economy: Utilizing up to 30% recycled content via their new EternAl™ billets.
Critical Infrastructure: Supplying the "skeleton" for Australia’s solar revolution, partnering with innovators like Tindo Solar and SunDrive.
Why This Matters for Your Bottom Line
With the Future Made in Australia Act and new 2026 Renewable Energy Targets looming, the pressure to "go green" is no longer optional—it’s a competitive necessity.
Energy Security: Buying local reduces exposure to volatile global shipping and geopolitical shocks.
Carbon Credits: Transitioning to low-carbon materials like LocAl® helps NSW and QLD manufacturers claim valuable Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs).
Consumer Demand: Recent Roy Morgan data shows 87% of Australians prefer local products. They aren't just looking for quality; they’re looking for a lower carbon footprint.
Current Energy News: What’s Changing in 2026?
To stay ahead, you need to navigate these three massive shifts currently hitting the Australian market:
The 2026 Solar Rebate Shift: As of January 1, the "deeming period" for solar certificates has dropped. This means upfront discounts for commercial solar are shrinking—acting now is critical to lock in higher ROI.
The $7.2B Battery Boom: The federal government has expanded the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, but a new tiered system starts in May 2026. Medium-to-large businesses need a specific strategy to maximize these incentives.
Green Iron & Steel Grants: New funding rounds for the Green Iron Investment Fund close in early 2026. If you are in metal fabrication or heavy industry, there is literal "free money" on the table to help you electrify.
