Description:

The Quad Clean Energy Supply Chain Diversification Program will provide grants to fund research and development, and feasibility study projects delivered as a joint project between Australian and eligible Indo-Pacific organisations.

The program aims to:

  • help develop and diversify solar photovoltaic (PV), hydrogen electrolyser and battery supply chains in the Indo-Pacific
  • address vulnerabilities in solar PV, hydrogen electrolyser and battery supply chains in the Indo-Pacific to help these supply chains become more resilient
  • accelerate the development of investment-ready solar PV, hydrogen electrolyser and battery supply chain projects in the Indo-Pacific.

Learn more about the Quad Statement of Principles on Clean Energy Supply Chains in the Indo-Pacific, which this program aims to support.
