Australia-Germany H2Global Program

Who can apply

The funder does not publish a structured list of eligible applicant types for this program. The eligibility criteria in the guidelines on the official page are the ones that count.

What the program funds

The Australia-Germany H2Global Program involves a innovative contract for difference market mechanism, where grant funds provided by the Australian government along with funding from the German government will be used by a successful applicant (if any) to support eligible Australian producers of hydrogen products. The funding will offset the difference between the price paid to purchase hydrogen products from Australian producers and the price received from selling those products to German offtakers.
