The Australian Government has recently launched the Quad Clean Energy Supply Chain Diversification Program, presenting a significant opportunity for research and development projects and feasibility studies in the fields of solar photovoltaic, hydrogen electrolyser, and battery supply chains. With a commitment of AU$50 million, the program aims to boost diversification and reduce vulnerabilities in these crucial energy sectors. Projects under this program must be joint collaborations between Australian and Indo-Pacific organizations, offering the possibility of additional partners from key countries like India, Japan, and the United States. The first round of funding, totaling AU$25 million, will provide grants ranging from AU$100,000 to AU$2.5 million for selected projects. The Quad Clean Energy Supply Chain Diversification Program was first introduced at the May 2023 Leaders' Summit by the Quad countries (Australia, India, Japan, and the United States) and is designed to support the implementation of the Quad Principles on Clean Energy Supply Chains. Information sessions about the program and the application process have been scheduled, with the final session set for December 9, 2025. Applications for Round 1 close on February 10, 2025. Interested parties can access the guidelines and apply for the program on the Quad Clean Energy Supply Chain Diversification Program website.
