Energy projects and technologies

• CEDA Event: Energy Security QLD Queensland’s Energy Roadmap event will uncover Queensland’s priorities for delivering reliable, affordable power now and into the future, in Brisbane 26 February 2026.
• Domestic manufacturing of wind and transmission infrastructure the Australian Government has opened consultation to understand the opportunities, barriers and outlook for wind and transmission infrastructure supply chains, seeking feedback from businesses of all sizes across the supply chain. Consultation closes 6 March 2026.
• Renewable Energy Buying Power Webinar Series join this webinar to gain insights on electricity purchasing options and energy management innovations, to be held 3 March 2026.
• Net Zero Fund will be essential for delivering the Australian Government’s Net Zero Plan and enabling major investments by large industrial facilities in decarbonisation and energy efficiency, supporting manufacturing renewable and low emissions technologies. Summary consultation on the fund’s design is available.
• Battery Breakthrough Initiative supports projects that contribute to one or more of the following program outcomes: enhance Australia’s battery manufacturing capability to improve supply chain resilience and support emissions reduction; commercialise battery manufacturing processes and technologies that can contribute to emissions reduction.
• Solar Sunshot program supports innovative solar photovoltaic manufacturing facilities in Australia across the solar supply chain. Round 2 (Inputs to Modules and Deployment) expressions of interest closes 30 April 2026.
• Advancing Renewables Program provides businesses with funding or finance to develop renewable energy technologies.
• Research and Development Tax Incentive helps companies innovate and grow by offsetting some of the costs of eligible research and development.
• Product Stewardship for Oil Program provides financial benefit for businesses that recycle oil or use recycled oil in their operations.
• Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) Scheme earns Australian carbon credit units for every tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent stored or avoided through adopting new practices and technologies.
• Graphite Research and Development (R&D) Grant supports businesses to collaborate with CSIRO on innovative R&D projects, driving the development of cutting-edge technologies and processes essential for natural graphite production, especially for battery applications. Closes 30 March 2026.
• Future Made in Australia (FMA) Innovation Fund will provide grant funding to support pre-commercial innovation, demonstration and deployment of renewable energy and low emission technologies, to support Australia’s transition to a net zero economy. 
  • FMA Innovation Fund Priority: Renewable Energy Technology Manufacturing (RETM) will fund innovative projects specific to the RETM Priority that benefit Australia’s transition to net zero by supporting manufacturing innovation and commercialisation of renewable energy technologies or that seek to develop Australian manufacturing capabilities and facilities to support the transition.
  • FMA Innovation Fund Priority: Low Carbon Liquid Fuels (LCLF) aims to fund innovative projects specific to the LCLF Priority that benefit Australia’s transition to net zero through the acceleration of commercial scale domestic production, pre-commercial technology demonstration and feedstock and supply chain enablement.
  • FMA Innovation Fund Priority: Green Metals will fund innovative projects that benefit Australia’s transition to net zero through the development of renewable energy and low emissions technologies. Specific to the Green Metals Priority, the Program will support first of a kind solution development and/or accelerate commercial scale production of green metals, including low and net zero emissions production of metals such as iron, steel, alumina and aluminium.
• Clean Energy Innovation Fund a specialist climate technology venture capital investor, focused on emerging technologies and businesses with the potential for growth.
• Powering the Regions Industrial Transformation Stream supports a range of industrial decarbonisation solutions, including but not limited to electrification, energy efficiency, low emissions processing and fuel switching. Round 3 is now open and will support focus areas: innovation in industrial decarbonisation, and advancing commercial deployment.
