Australia – UK Renewable Hydrogen Innovation Partnerships

The Australia-UK Renewable Hydrogen Innovation Partnerships Program is a new funding initiative aimed at supporting green hydrogen projects in Australia and the United Kingdom. This program is focused on the research, development, and demonstration of renewable hydrogen technologies, particularly in the areas of industry and transport decarbonization. Both countries are committed to achieving net-zero emissions and see this program as a way to meet their industrial decarbonization goals and potentially create future trade opportunities.\n\nThe program will provide $10 million over two years for Australian projects, with matched funding from Innovate UK for UK partners. Projects will cover a range of areas including the production of renewable hydrogen, its derivatives, and its use in hard-to-abate industries like iron and steelmaking, as well as in the heavy transport sector. Australian grantees can receive grants of up to $2 million in a single round.\n\nTo participate, applicants must submit a joint project proposal with a UK partner, who will then apply for matched funding from Innovate UK.
