The Australian Government will open applications to Round 1 of the Quad Clean Energy Supply Chain Diversification Program in November 2024.
Grants will fund research and development projects and feasibility studies to develop more diverse solar photovoltaic, hydrogen electrolyser and battery supply chains. Projects must be delivered as joint projects between Australian and Indo-Pacific organisations.
The Australian Government has committed A$50 million to this program. Up to A$25 million will be available under this round, with grants ranging from A$100,000 to A$2.5 million.
The program was announced by the Quad – Australia, India, Japan and the United States – at the 2023 Leaders’ Summit. It supports the implementation of the Quad Principles on Clean Energy Supply Chains – a foundation for engagement in clean energy supply chains in the Indo-Pacific.
