Australian Industry Renewable Heat Accelerator opportunities
19 June 2025
A new initiative has been launched to help Australian manufacturers tackle early-stage barriers in transitioning from gas to renewable heat technologies. The Australian Industry Renewable Heat Accelerator can provide support and funding to manufacturers for projects including pre-feasibility and options studies, small-scale pilots and appliance switching.
The initiative comes as gas prices have surged in recent years and industry faces growing concerns about potential shortfalls, while at the same time renewable heat technologies have become technically and commercially appealing alternatives. Additionally, many industrial gas users are experiencing increasing stakeholder pressure for decarbonisation as governments, customers and consumers seek to decarbonise supply chains.
Consultations are available throughout June, with applications expected to open in July. Priority applications are expected to close in late August, with the first projects commencing in September.
Manufacturers, industry associations, technology providers, and other stakeholders interested in learning more about the Australian Industry Renewable Heat Accelerator can contact the team for initial consultations.
What the Accelerator offers:
- Support and funding for pre-feasibility and options studies and small-scale pilots or appliance swaps.
- Connections to expert engineers, consultants, and OEMs.
- Simple and quick application process, collaborative approach.
