Australia Clean Energy Finance Corporation

This CEFC clean energy finance route sits under the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, Australia’s government-owned green bank. CEFC’s mandate is to direct finance into the clean energy sector and support emissions-reduction targets, so the route is capital deployment rather than grant funding. The available funding range runs from A$2 million to A$200 million, with a median actual investment of A$15 million. Applicants must be Australian incorporated, the route is open on a rolling basis, and the source material sets a practical TRL range of 6 to 9, a 50% match-funding expectation, and a clean energy, climate, or hydrogen focus. CEFC itself has access to more than A$33 billion in capital, which makes this a serious project-finance and investment channel. The best fit is an experienced team with a bankable commercial case and a strong technology edge. The route is designed for companies that can take capital into deployment or growth, and it does not stack with the same debt. In practice it suits businesses that are ready to use finance to scale a climate solution, not teams looking for a small pilot grant.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
