Recipients of the 2023 Renewable Energy Innovation Fund.
Six local renewable energy projects will receive a funding boost in the latest round of ACT Government funded innovation grants.
Round three of the ACT Government’s Renewable Energy Innovation Fund (REIF) grants will provide the sector with more than $1.2 million to help fund renewable energy innovation.
REIF grants provide flexible, early-stage funding to businesses operating in the ACT. They support new and emerging renewable energy technologies, ventures and activities, which have the potential to support the energy vision of the future.
This year’s grants will support projects integral to addressing the climate crisis by supporting on-demand hydrogen production, increasing the efficiency of solar panels, and enhancing the ACT’s network of grid-connected batteries.
Approximately $3.1 million of funding awarded since 2017 has helped 14 companies kickstart their renewable vision in the ACT.
The recipients of this year’s REIF Grants are:
- PV Lab Australia: Reduce and reuse – keeping photovoltaic panels out of waste streams
- Spark3D: Advanced additive manufacturing of next-gen photovoltaics
- Hydrogen Renewable Energy Australia (HYREA): On-site and on-demand green hydrogen production
- Zeppelin Bend: Community Energy Opportunity Toolkit
- Flex-G: Revolutionising battery lifespan through enhanced thermal management
- Aqacia: PV 4.0. Focused on using machine learning and image recognition technology to improve the quality control of solar panels.
More information about this year’s REIF recipients and their projects is available on the Everyday Climate Choices website.
