The Australian government is set to open applications for a $50 million funding program in November 2024 to boost the development of more diverse solar PV, hydrogen electrolyser, and battery supply chains in the Indo-Pacific region. The Quad Clean Energy Supply Chain Diversification Program, a partnership between Australia, India, Japan, and the US, will offer grants ranging from $100,000 to $2.5 million to support research and development in the region. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasized the importance of diversifying and expanding clean energy supply chains to enhance collective energy security in the region. The program aims to accelerate the development of investment-ready projects in areas like solar ingots, wafer production, and battery cell component manufacturing. Additionally, commitments from India, Japan, and the US were announced, including funding for solar projects, grants and loans for renewable energy projects, and support for solar manufacturing facilities in India. These initiatives highlight a collaborative effort to promote renewable energy and strengthen clean energy supply chains in the Indo-Pacific region.
