ACARP seeks research proposals that address key industry problems on an annual basis. Grants are offered to assist the Australian coal industry to develop and adopt technology and mining practice that leads the world.

ACARP is a collaborative program that utilises the experience and technical strength of the coal mining industry and research institutions to solve technical problems and address issues significant to the industry. ACARP is seeking research driving minimised emissions and environmental impact of industry.

Safety, environment, emissions measurement, mitigation and management remain key drivers in the program and will continue to be the focus of much of the program of work and a significant component of the underground, open cut and coal preparation programs. Any proposed research project that is strongly supported by a mine site and is of interest to several coal operations is encouraged.

Complementary priorities have also been developed by ACARP's technical committees in line with this strategic direction and are separated into the areas of:

• Underground
• Open Cut
• Coal Preparation
• Technical Market Support
• Mine Site Greenhouse Gas Mitigation
