Australia Austria Industrial Decarbonisation Demonstration Partnerships Project

Applicants must be industry organisations applying as the Australian lead partner in a joint Australian-Austrian project. Projects must include at least one Austrian project partner, and that Austrian partner must also apply for funding under the Austrian program. Projects must have at least 600000 in eligible project expenditure, and the Australian grant can cover up to 25% of total eligible project expenditure. The total Australian or Austrian project cost may not exceed 60% of the total project cost. Activities must be undertaken in both Australia and Austria. Projects must advance innovative technologies, processes or solutions for industrial decarbonisation in eligible hard-to-abate sectors: ironmaking and steelmaking, chemicals manufacturing, production of lime and cement, or alumina and aluminium production. Projects must be directly linked to a physical demonstration or pilot test plant with Technology Readiness Level 5 to 8. Joint or consortium applications are allowed, but the lead organisation must be an industry organisation and only eligible entities may lead. Applicants must provide all mandatory attachments, including letters of support from project partners. Cash contributions cannot come from other Commonwealth Government grants.
