Transform your renewable projects from capital-intensive concepts into bankable, funding-ready assets
Securing funding from Hydrogen Headstart and Future Made in Australia means giving certainty on project viability and safety. DNV helps build the trust required to keep projects moving towards success.
Australia is moving forward in renewable hydrogen and low carbon fuels, backed by two major government initiatives, Hydrogen Headstart and the Future Made in Australia Innovation Fund. Both programs are designed to accelerate the nation’s transition to net zero while supporting developers, innovators and investors looking to scale transformative clean energy projects.
Together, these programs represent some of the largest clean energy funds in Australia’s history, creating opportunities for project developers, technology providers and manufacturers to bring innovative solutions to the industry.
The Headstart Program and Future Made in Australia will:
- accelerate development of Australia’s hydrogen industry
- catalyse clean energy industries
- help Australia connect to new global hydrogen supply chains
- secure Australia’s place in a changing global environment.
Why work with DNV
DNV provides the technical and commercial validation needed to navigate the complexities of the energy transition and secure funding success. From early‑stage feasibility to operational readiness, we help you navigate complexity, reduce risk and demonstrate real value to stakeholders across the entire value chain.
-
Capital-intensive projects struggle to secure funding due to complex risks. External validation plays a role in giving investors the confidence they need to commit capital. By providing independent expertise, DNV transforms projects from concepts to truly investable, often becoming the decisive factor to securing the funding.
-
Unproven technologies and safety concerns in hydrogen and low carbon fuel projects can jeopardize investor confidence, project timelines and overall commercial viability. Safety and reliability are foundational to securing investor trust, meeting regulatory expectations and getting government funding. Independent assurance demonstrates that your project aligns with global best practice and can perform safely across its entire lifecycle, turning risk into confidence for both investors and regulators.
-
Unverified “green claims” will not unlock subsidies or secure offtake agreements. Buyers, regulators and financiers require proof of the claims made of low carbon hydrogen and its derivatives. Independent sustainability assurance transforms claims into credible, verified attributes that unlock offtake, subsidies and investment. Demonstrating sustainability at the molecule level builds trust, strengthens market access and ensures your product meets global expectations.
