US EditionVoltavate's Manufacturing Breakthrough Gains ARENA Backing to Transform Battery Production at Scale
The funding will support pilot-scale manufacturing and independent testing of Voltavate’s separator technology as manufacturers seek more resilient battery supply chains.
- On Wednesday, Melbourne-based Voltavate received a $3.55 million grant from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency to advance battery manufacturing and transition into pilot-scale separator production.
- Existing separator supply chains remain highly concentrated, limiting flexibility and control for manufacturers. This funding addresses those constraints by enabling in-house separator production.
- Voltavate CEO and Co-founder Amir Hooshang Taheri stated, "This project marks a critical step in moving from lab-scale development." The company will integrate materials into battery cells for prototype testing.
- ARENA CEO Darren Miller noted the project demonstrates how Australia can play a stronger role in the global battery value chain through advanced manufacturing capabilities for clean energy technologies.
- Backed by the Australian Government through the Advancing Renewables Program, Voltavate will scale production and generate prototype cells for customer evaluation, supporting its pathway toward commercial deployment.
