Whilst the majority of Carnegie's efforts and resources are focused on developing the CETO Wave Technology, Carnegie owns a number of earlier stage, emerging clean technologies. These include a solar thermal, aerofoil and green heat exchange technology that, subject to the availability of appropriate resources, will be advanced through concept validation and feasibility assessment.

In April 2009, Carnegie was awarded a $156,567 Climate Ready grant for its green heat exchange technology. The Australian Federal Government grant is provided on a $1 for $1 matched funding basis and will allow Carnegie to test the feasibility of the system over the next 12 months. 

The project aims to develop an advanced tubeless heat recovery system for flue gases which would be used to pre-heat incoming combustion air. If successful, the technology will be readily employable for energy recovery in coal fired power stations as well as other fossil fuel power generation and general gas heat transfer applications, saving costs, improving system efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
