Battery Breakthrough Initiative

Funding provided through Battery Breakthrough Initiative (BBI) may include capital grants, production incentives or other payments deemed appropriate by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (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 Australia’s battery manufacturing capability to improve supply chain resilience and support emissions reduction
• Commercialise battery manufacturing processes and technologies that can contribute to emissions reduction.
