Manufacturing & Industrial Grants

Grant funding available to help the manufacturing and mining sector reduce emissions.

A venture capital investment program that provides capital and professional expertise to innovative Australian early-stage companies and high-growth startups. The program offers increased fund sizes up to $200 million, a 10% tax offset on capital deployed into start-up companies, and a tax-exempt environment for investment returns.

A legislated tax offset program that supports companies to invest in eligible research and development by offsetting some of the associated costs. The program provides refundable or non-refundable tax offsets based on company turnover and R&D expenditure proportions, with offsets up to $150 million.

The Additive Manufacturing CRC establishes a world-class ecosystem for 3D printing technology spanning the entire value chain. It brings together Australia's AM research community and ambitious companies to accelerate innovation, explore new sustainable materials, and certify production, supporting widespread industrial adoption of AM technologies.

This grant provides up to $50 million to trade-exposed facilities covered by the Safeguard Mechanism to reduce their emissions and contribute to Australia's emissions reduction targets. Funding supports projects including plant and equipment, labour, training, and decommissioning of old equipment aimed at reducing scope 1 emissions and preventing carbon leakage.

The Advancing Renewables Program provides businesses with funding or finance to develop renewable energy technologies. This program aims to fund projects that contribute to optimising the transition to renewable electricity, commercialising clean hydrogen, or supporting the transition to low emissions metals.

Funding for EPE Oceania Pty Ltd to design, build, test and operate Australia's first lunar rover on the Moon's south pole. This is the first Australian-led space mission to another celestial body, with $42 million in funding from the Australian Space Agency's Moon to Mars Program.

A $26 million grant awarded to the Future Fuels Cooperative Research Centre to research and develop low-carbon energy infrastructure, including hydrogen blending with natural gas for use in residential and commercial appliances. The grant supports the transition of energy infrastructure to a low-carbon economy using fuels such as hydrogen and biogas, with research outcomes informing industry implementation across Australia.

This program provides funding to enable the demonstration and deployment of new zero emissions vehicle technologies. It supports projects that overcome barriers to ZEV uptake by fleets, optimize battery electric vehicle integration into the grid, demonstrate new ZEV use cases, and increase skills and knowledge in ZEV technologies.

This program provides grant funding towards Low Carbon Liquid Fuels (LCLF) projects that support Australia's transition to net zero. Funding supports innovative projects including commercial scale domestic production, pre-commercial technology demonstration, and feedstock and supply chain enablement for LCLF.

Provides grants of up to $10 million to organisations developing novel and emerging technologies to capture, utilise or remove CO2. Supports pilot and demonstration projects with potential to create new low-emissions or net-zero industries and address Australia's hard-to-abate emissions.

The $40 million Low Emissions Industry Program supports NSW's NGER-reporting mining and manufacturing facilities. The program targets decarbonisation projects that can be deployed quickly and at scale. Safeguard facilities are not eligible to apply.
