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. ARENA may take a portfolio approach to selecting Projects for funding, giving consideration to how a Project will contribute to the Program Outcomes either uniquely or as part of a suite of complementary ARENA activities. BBI is an open, merit-based program which will remain open until funds are exhausted or otherwise terminated or extended by ARENA. The program’s objective is to fund projects that contribute to one or more of the following program outcomes: Enhance...

clean hydrogen Support the transition to low emissions metals Decarbonise transport ARENA wishes to attract and fund projects that align with its Investment Plan. Through the Advancing Renewables Program, ARENA is able to fund only those low emissions projects and activities that involve a renewable energy technology or technologies that increase the supply of, or improve the competitiveness of, renewable energy in Australia and have a clear nexus to renewable energy and its enabling technologies.
