The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has opened the first funding round of the German-Australian Hydrogen Innovation and Technology Incubator (HyGATE).
HyGATE will fund innovative real-world pilot, trial and demonstration projects. Successful projects may support renewable hydrogen technology development through:
- technology innovation
- cost reduction
- Australian-German supply chain development
- cross country collaboration and knowledge sharing
- price transparency.
HyGATE funding will favour projects that encourage collaboration between Australian and German industry and research partners.
HyGATE is a jointly funded initiative to help bring down the cost of hydrogen technologies. Australia and Germany are contributing $50 million and €50 million respectively. It is one of 3 initiatives under the Australia-Germany Hydrogen Accord.
