The Australia-Singapore Low-Emissions Technologies (ASLET) initiative for maritime and port operations supports the establishment of green and digital shipping corridors between the two countries by the end of 2025.

The ASLET initiative is co-delivered by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency in collaboration with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore and is supported by the Governments of Singapore and Australia.

What ASLET will deliver

Large BoatThe co-investment initiative supports the maritime and port sectors in Australia and Singapore towards a zero and near-zero emissions future while delivering bilateral economic benefit. Both Singapore and Australia have committed up to $10 million each in their respective currencies to deliver projects under the initiative.

Informed by an independent bilateral co-design process and developed in consultation with industry stakeholders in Australia and Singapore, the Australia–Singapore Initiative on Low-Emissions Technologies for Maritime and Port Operations Report outlines the initiatives' major challenges to address and provides an assessment of decarbonisation solutions.

ASLET aims to accelerate demonstration and industry deployment of zero and near-zero emissions fuels and technologies in maritime and port operations. The initiative will facilitate the research, demonstration, and commercialisation of zero and near-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emission technologies, fuels and/or energy sources for use in maritime and port operations.

The initiative seeks to fund solutions that make use of technology from either Australia or Singapore and brings equitable benefit to both countries through deployment project pipelines.

Funding

ASLET is providing grant funding to support applied research, pilot and demonstration projects that will contribute to reduced cost, increased safety and accelerated uptake of low emission technologies for maritime and port operations.

For projects with Australian lead applicants, there is up to AU$8.4 million available to fund successful projects.

  • The minimum grant amount is AU$500,000.
  • The maximum grant amount is AU$3 million.

The lead applicant and project partners (if applicable) are required to contribute towards project activities. The grant amount will be up to a maximum of 50 per cent of eligible project expenditure.

For full details on funding requirements, eligibility and assessment criteria, please read the grant opportunity guidelines.
