The Battery Breakthrough Initiative now open, offering grants between $2 million and $200 million.
The Battery Breakthrough Initiative (BBI) was announced as part of the Future Made in Australia (FMA) policy agenda of the Australian Government to encourage Australian battery opportunities to meet global demand. Central to the National Battery Strategy, the program has been designed in consultation with the Department of Industry, Science and Resources (DISR) and a broad range of stakeholders.
Funding provided through BBI may include capital grants, production incentives or other payments deemed appropriate by ARENA for the project.
The program’s objective is to fund 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.
This ARENA program is designed to enhance Australia’s battery manufacturing capability and support the commercialisation of battery manufacturing processes and technologies.
The program supports projects across three focus areas:
1. Production of active materials (e.g. cathode materials, anode materials, electrolytes);
2. Battery cell manufacturing; and
3. Battery pack assembly.
Grants of between $2 million and $200 million are available. The total funding pool is $500 million.
Grants must be matched by applicants at a 1:1 ratio.
Applicants must be:
• An Australian entity incorporated under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth); or
• A Commonwealth, State or Local Government entity.
Applications will close when funds are fully exhausted.
