The proposal would start sector assessments under the Future Made in Australia (FMIA) program immediately and set the priority sectors based on areas where there are global shortages of key components for decarbonisation, including:

• shipbuilding for purpose-built vessels to transport offshore wind turbines in South Australia
• electrolyser manufacturing used to make green hydrogen
• constructing transmission towers, cables and transformers for energy grids
• heat pump manufacturing and supply chain support to get homes and businesses off gas
• railway tracks made from green steel
• wind turbine construction in the Illawarra and Whyalla.

The proposal would start on 1 July 2025.
