Chairman’s Report
“I am delighted to present the Annual Report for Carnegie Clean
Energy for the financial year ending 30 June, 2023.”
Terry Stinson - Carnegie Clean
Energy Chairman.
In an era defined by how we meet climate
challenges and how quickly we can transition
to a clean energy future, this has been a year
of significant progress and accomplishment.
Carnegie has remained steadfast in pioneering
an innovative solution to our global problem.
Not only are we a frontrunner in delivering
wave energy, but also as a leader in
delivering a sustainable energy future.
Throughout the year, Management has
delivered on key milestones and is gathering
momentum.
Over the past year, Team Carnegie has
delivered the most significant technical
and commercial progress in all my time
with the company and they deserve to be
congratulated. These are truly exciting times.
From CETO, new opportunities have emerged.
These have included MoorPower, adding
diversification to the business and additional
opportunities to create new commercial
business streams.
Our purpose has not changed or wavered.
As a team, we are committed to harnessing
ocean energy to make the world more
sustainable.
In delivering on our purpose, our aim is
to become the global leader in this new
renewable source of energy, wave energy.
We will deliver clean, renewable technologies,
products and clean energy to the world while
also delivering value to our shareholders
and stakeholders.
4
Industry Landscape
Governments and businesses worldwide
continue to accelerate moves toward
renewable sources of energy. It is becoming
increasingly clear that to meet our emissions
and renewables targets, we require a broader
range of renewable energy technology
solutions.
This is among the key challenges of our
generation.
Ocean energy provides a zero emission,
almost limitless energy source that the world
is increasingly focused on as a critical part of
the solution.
And right around the world governments
are committing to the development of this
technology. In the past year, the focus
has been from Europe and in the USA,
global leaders in fostering new renewables
technologies.
The EU’s strategy for offshore renewable
energy includes specific wave and tidal
deployment. It targeted at least 1GW by 2030.
In recent months, the French government
announced support of at least €65 million
for a tidal energy farm, the EU awarded €40
million for two tidal energy farms via Horizon
Europe funding, and the EU Innovation fund
backed two major ocean energy projects, a
hybrid wind and wave platform project and a
wave energy project.
In May 2023, the US Department of Energy
(DOE), announced US$45 million for tidal
development and US$25 million to wave
energy technologies was awarded in 2022.
China also has a specific strategy for
ocean energy.
01 Meanwhile, the global commitment to 85%
from renewables by 2050 continues.
Carnegie Clean Energy is a front runner in
this emerging global wave energy industry,
recently validated by external experts with
significant commercial opportunities.
Australia continues existing carbon reduction
initiatives with a focus on reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions, targeting 43%
reduction by 2030 (below 2005 levels).
Offshore wind projects are advancing and
growing in Australia. With support for ocean
energy growing in Australia, wave energy
projects should be explored.
I expect Australian Government support
for ocean energy technology development
projects, like tidal and wave energy, to grow
rapidly in the future, with continued success
mirroring our success with wave energy
projects in Europe.
The Blue Economy CRC, partially funded
by the Australian Government, is making a
significant contribution to the development
of ocean energy technologies and continues
to be a key partner and supporter of Carnegie
projects over the past year.
The Blue Economy CRC and partners have
been instrumental with their support and
a key enabler in the development of CETO,
MoorPower, and associated wave energy
technologies over the past year.
Our Glidepath
The Product Validation Roadmap, unveiled last
year, is on track, with several key milestones
achieved over the past year.
CETO development progressed rapidly and
significantly over the past year, primarily
through the support of the EuropeWave
Programme with significant performance
improvements demonstrated through tank
testing of our advanced controllers. MoorPower
has progressed with the support of the Blue
Economy CRC. EuropeWave and BE CRC
awards have validated Carnegie as a viable
commercial enterprise and their involvement
has demonstrated the power of partnerships.
The Wave Predictor continues to be developed
as an integral part of CETO. It still has
potential as a stand-alone product, but for
now, the focus is on its use in CETO rather
than as a stand-alone product.
Europe is the focal point for wave energy
right now, and Carnegie is prepared to access
this market through active subsidiaries in
Europe including CETO Wave Energy Ireland
and our newly created subsidiary Carnegie
Technologies Spain. The Carnegie group and
its CETO technology really made waves over
the past year.
5
From my perspective, the EuropeWave Programme
is one of the most powerful commercialisation
initiatives yet to be offered to the wave energy
industry due to its competitive procurement model
which required technologies to compete on key
metrics.
This is not a typical government funded research
and development program. EuropeWave used a
competitive bid process, with the leading wave
energy technology developers from around the
world competing for funding.
It pays the developers participating as contractors,
with clear deliverables, milestones and penalties.
The programme’s focus is on successful commercial
outcomes.
The goal was to select wave energy technologies
most likely to be commercialised on a large-scale
basis in Europe.
To make this happen, the program filters the
competitors proposals through a rigorous process
and then funds a scale demonstrator for those
that make it through the filter. That deployment
is intended to validate commercial viability to key
large program developers, energy players, and
energy providers in Europe. Similar to offshore wind,
once successfully demonstrated, wave technology
can be deployed around the world.
I’m so proud that the team came out of the final
round ranked number one. Amazing validation
of our CETO technology’s current status and
long-term potential.
This meant Carnegie’s subsidiary, CETO Wave Energy
Ireland, was awarded a €3.75m contract to build and
operate a CETO wave energy converter at the Biscay
Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) in Spain.
These are exciting times for Carnegie.
A funded and successful EuropeWave deployment
serves as the launchpad to prove the CETO
technology and will be the catalyst for Carnegie’s
future commercial success.
Partnerships
Partnerships have been and will continue to be a key
part of our strategy.
Through our upcoming CETO deployment in
Spain, Carnegie will establish and develop further
relationships with new partners to facilitate the
design, development, fabrication, deployment, and
maintenance of our CETO scaled demonstrator.

Summary
It is an honour to Chair this company, serving
with my fellow directors.
In this role, I have the opportunity to be
a part of the development of a new clean
energy technology, to be involved and work
with an amazing team of engineers and
commercial professionals, working both here
in Australia, and in Europe, to develop, deploy
and demonstrate new and exciting renewable
energy technology and new clean energy
products.
I’m proud to be part of introducing a new
energy technology to the world that can
provide a return to shareholders, while making
the Earth a better place for us, and for
our children.
The Carnegie team, Directors, Management,
and all employees, sincerely thank our
shareholders for their support over the past
year, and for many shareholders, thanks also
for many years past.
We also welcome our new shareholders who
have just joined Carnegie.
Together, we have embarked on a journey that
holds immense promise for a sustainable and
prosperous future.
Terry Stinson
Non-Executive Chair
The Blue Economy CRC, Hewlett Packard
Enterprise and other industry collaborators
continue as close partners and many new
partners and commercial relationships have
developed over the past year. More great
partners are expected in the coming years.
Strategy
In FY23, the board and Management refreshed
the strategic plan, and our strategy is clear.
We will maintain Carnegie’s position as a
global leader in wave energy and accelerate
commercialisation of CETO and MoorPower
products.
If one uses offshore wind industry
development as a comparative for future
success, we know the potential is significant
and the time is now. Carnegie can be the first,
the leader, and main player in wave energy
starting in Europe, and then worldwide,
generating sales, growth, profits, and
shareholder value.
In the past year, Management has continued
to demonstrate a highly efficient use of
capital and Carnegie continues to be debt
free. Shareholder funds have been managed
wisely and responsibly over the year.
Directors and Management continue to
present Carnegie’s developments and
potential to the investment community. In
the meetings, I have participated in, parties
have expressed sincere interest in Carnegie,
however so far, these efforts did not
significantly impact the share price over the
past year. This is surprising to me considering
all that Carnegie has achieved over the past
12 months. The team will continue to deliver
our projects and Management will continue to
keep the market informed.
Our strategic plan for future success is
solid and we are delivering great results.
As with other emerging technologies, the
commercialisation process will take time. My
personal view is that there will be increased
interest from capital markets as Carnegie
Clean Energy continues to deliver on the
strategy and milestones.

arrays, Carnegie is a world leader in the
emerging wave energy industry.
The wave energy industry is entering a key
inflection point, with growing recognition
that ocean energy has an important role
to play in remaking our energy systems to
meet the global climate change imperative.
Upcoming projects across the ocean energy
industry will unlock the commercial potential
of the sector by validating the technologies,
providing increased exposure to investors and
supporting the commercial roll out of projects
worldwide.
Our ACHIEVE Programme, which will deploy
a CETO prototype in the Basque Country in
2025 with the support of a contract from the
EuropeWave Programme and funds from the
Spanish Government, will mark an exciting
new stage in the history of Carnegie and the
CETO technology.
Meanwhile, in Australia, Carnegie’s MoorPower
projects with the BlueEconomy CRC and
key salmon producers Huon and Tassal will
expand the market opportunity for wave
energy in offshore aquaculture applications.

Global Context and
Opportunity
To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the world needs to rapidly transition
to a clean energy system – one that reduces emissions to reach net-zero while also
supporting progress towards our sustainable development goals.
Renewable energy technologies are set to
become the dominant source of energy to
achieve this global clean energy transition.
While wind and solar have played a key role to
date, other renewables like wave energy are
required to complement these efforts.
Wave energy is an untapped resource that
will play an important role in this growing
renewable energy portfolio. Wave energy is
clean, consistent, predictable and abundant.
It is present day and night.
There has been a notable surge in efforts
to progress ocean energy over recent years.
These efforts include the introduction of
offshore renewable energy legislation, policies
and incentives in the United States, Europe
and to a lesser extent, Australia. This is
driving increasing investment in ocean energy
as evidenced by investments being made
by the European Commission and ambitious
national governments like the US, Spain and
the UK. Wave energy’s inherent predictability
and consistency make it an attractive option
for countries seeking to diversify their
energy portfolios and reduce dependence on
fossil fuels.
The growth of the global ocean energy
sector is driving increased support and
investment in project delivery and research
and development to support ongoing cost
reductions. This is providing opportunities for
Carnegie and its international subsidiaries to
rapidly advance our technologies along its
commercialisation pathway.
Our recent EuropeWave contract award for
the deployment of CETO at Biscay Marine
Energy Platform (BiMEP) in Spain is an
example of how international commitments
to supporting the growth of the ocean energy
sector is delivering progress on CETO’s
commercialisation journey.
The additional funding awarded by the Spanish
Government to enhance that deployment
in Spain provides further validation of the
technologies leading position.
Delivery of ocean energy will generate
economic growth, job creation, and
innovation within coastal communities
globally. The positive impact extends beyond
just provision of clean, secure energy and
supports revitalisation of coastal regions and
employment transition in regions.
Why Wave Energy
Oceans cover more than 70% of the surface of
our planet and offer significant opportunities
to support our sustainable transition. Global
investment in ocean energy continues to
increase and Ocean Energy Europe (OEE)
forecasts a €653b (A$1,078b) market potential
for ocean energy by 2050.
Wave energy’s strength lies in its reliability
and predictability. Ocean waves are influenced
by well-understood factors like wind patterns
and bathymetry, allowing for accurate
forecasting. This predictability enables us to
confidently estimate wave energy production
over time, facilitating strategic planning and
seamless integration into the grid.
Unlike wind and solar energy, which can
experience rapid fluctuations due to weather
conditions, wave energy is more consistent.
Waves exhibit steadier patterns, resulting in a
stable and dependable energy output.
The consistent nature of wave energy
production can reduce the reliance on energy
storage solutions like batteries, which are
essential for stabilising the intermittent
output of wind and solar systems. This
not only enhances grid resilience but also
potentially leads to cost savings by minimising
infrastructure and maintenance expenses.

CETO®
CETO® Technology
Named after a Greek sea goddess, our CETO wave energy converter captures the vast
and untapped energy within our oceans, transforming it into electricity that seamlessly
integrates into the grid or demand application and complements other renewable
energy technologies.
What sets CETO apart is its unique design—a
fully submerged, point absorber type wave
energy technology with advanced control
that allows us to optimise its operations.
Beneath the ocean’s surface, our submerged
buoy moves in harmony with the motion
of the waves, and it is this orbital motion
that drives the power take-off (PTO) units
within the buoy. Through this process CETO
converts ocean waves into a source of clean,
grid-ready electricity.
Our commitment to environmental
sustainability is at the core of CETO’s design.
The submerged buoys minimise visual impact
and support the system’s resilience against
extreme weather conditions.
Markets for CETO are large and diverse,
spanning from remote and island communities
seeking to reduce their dependence on fossil
fuels to large utility scale grid-connected
installations contributing to comprehensive
clean energy portfolios.
As the technology progresses along its
commercialisation pathway and cost of energy
continues to decrease, Carnegie envisages
the addressable market for wave energy to
expand, forming a growing adoption curve
previously seen in the solar PV and offshore
wind industries.

ACHIEVE Programme
The ACHIEVE Programme will deploy a CETO prototype at the Biscay Marine Energy
Platform (BiMEP) in the Basque Country, Spain in 2025. This will entail delivery of the
final detailed design, manufacture, assembly, PTO testing, integration testing, installation,
commissioning and two years of CETO operations at BiMEP.
ACHIEVE is being delivered under a €3.75m
contract awarded through the EuropeWave
Pre-Commercial Procurement Programme.
The project is enhanced and extended
through a €1.2m grant awarded by the Spanish
Government through the RENMARINAS DEMOS
Program. Both of these wins were awarded
subsequent to the end of the financial year.
Combined, this support enables a strong, well-
funded validation of the CETO technology in
an open ocean deployment site. The delivery
of this project marks a key turning point in
CETO’s commercial pathway and unlocks the
commercial roll out of the technology.
BiMEP - CETO Deployment Site for ACHIEVE Programme
EuropeWave Contract
In September 2023, Carnegie’s subsidiary,
CETO Wave Energy Ireland Limited, was
awarded a contract for its ACHIEVE Project
which will deploy a CETO unit in Europe via
the EuropeWave Pre-Commercial Procurement
(PCP) Programme. The EuropeWave contract
award for the ACHIEVE Project, valued at
€3.75 million ($6.3 million AUD), illustrates
Carnegie’s leading position in the sector.
CETO Wave Energy Ireland was selected in a
competitive selection process, which started
with 36 technology developer applications and
was narrowed down through three competitive
selection rounds to 3 final companies that
were offered contracts for deployment. The
ACHIEVE Project bid received the highest
score in the final selection round which gave
the team first choice of deployment location.
16
This contract for deployment of CETO
through the ACHIEVE Project follows on from
the competitive selection and successful
performance of CETO in previous phases
of the EuropeWave Programme, for which
Carnegie delivered a compelling CETO design
for sites in both Scotland and the Basque
Country, two tank testing campaigns, power
take-off testing, techno-economic analysis,
technology certification pathway, commercial
activities and more.
The EuropeWave PCP is a collaborative
effort between Wave Energy Scotland
(WES) and the Basque Energy Agency (EVE),
with the overarching goal of expediting the
development of cost-effective wave energy
converter systems that can withstand the
challenges of the ocean environment.
The ACHIEVE Project team embarks on
delivering this EuropeWave contract alongside
consortium partner SAITEC Offshore
Technologies, and a group of subcontractors
including Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lloyd’s
Register EMEA, Hutchinson, Quoceant, VGA,
Advanced Composite Structures Australia, and
Julia F. Chozas Consulting Engineer.
The company maintains ownership of the
intellectual property, results, and any tangible
assets produced during the ACHIEVE project.
RENMARINAS DEMOS
Spanish Government Grant
Carnegie’s subsidiary, Carnegie Technologies
Spain (CTS), was awarded a €1.2m grant for
its AGUAMARINA project in September 2023.
The AGUAMARINA funding complements
the EuropeWave contract for the ACHIEVE
Project and enables additional activities to
be delivered for this key CETO deployment
in Europe. Ultimately this funding improves
and de-risks the activities whilst supporting
Carnegie’s ambition for this deployment
to unlock the commercial roll out of the
technology globally.
Managed by Spain’s IDAE (Instituto para la
Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía), the
RENMARINAS DEMOS program is promoting
the investment in marine renewables
actions through four key subprograms.
CTS’ AGUAMARINA Project is receiving
€1.2m funding through Subprogram 3: The
development of marine renewable technology
The EuropeWave project has received funding from the European Union’s
Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement
No 883751.

demonstrators. The RENMARINAS DEMOS
program follows the main strategic lines of
action identified in the recent Roadmap for
the development of offshore wind and marine
energy in Spain, targeting 40-60 MW of marine
energy deployment by 2030, and is supported
by NextGenerationEU funds via the Spanish
Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y
Resiliencia (Plan for Recovery, Transformation
and Resilience).
The funding will provide additional support
to enhance and extend the activities
associated with the ACHIEVE project and
supports further collaboration with the
deployment site. The funding will provide
an additional year of operations offshore,
doubling the deployment of the CETO device.
Planned wave prediction activities will be
expanded delivering additional improvements
to the advanced control capabilities to
be demonstrated during the operations
period. The funding will also support local
infrastructure including foundations and the
dynamic cable to attach to existing electrical
infrastructure. Collaboration, engagement and

MoorPower®
MoorPower® Technology
As the aquaculture sector moves operations further offshore, new challenges are
encountered to access clean and reliable energy. Without shore-based power, energy
intensive offshore aquaculture operations such as feeding barges are reliant on diesel
generators with many associated costs, risks and carbon emissions. This is also true of
many moored vessels across the blue economy.
Carnegie’s solution to address this challenge is MoorPower, a spin-off that incorporates core
aspects of Carnegie’s CETO technology and know-how into a novel wave energy converter
system for use in offshore energy demand applications. The first market for this product would
be aquaculture barges and vessels that require energy for electrical loads operating offshore.
Carnegie’s new wave power product addresses the challenge of securing clean and reliable energy
and replaces the diesel generation that would otherwise be required.
The concept and vision for MoorPower grew out of engagement with stakeholders in the Blue
Economy CRC (BE CRC) including key aquaculture companies and their technology providers,
ensuring that Carnegie understood their requirements, constraints and challenges.
19
MoorPower Scaled Demonstrator Project
In October 2021, Carnegie launched the $3.4m MoorPower Scaled Demonstrator Project
with support from Australia’s Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (BE CRC) and a
consortium of partners. This important project is taking MoorPower from concept to an
operating prototype and allow future users to see the technology in action.
As part of the MoorPower Scaled Demonstrator
Project currently underway, Carnegie is
designing, developing, building and operating
a scaled demonstrator of the MoorPower
technology in collaboration with Blue
Economy CRC and leading partners, including
aquaculture leaders such as Huon Aquaculture
and Tassal. The scaled demonstrator will be
deployed and operated just offshore from
Carnegie’s office and research facility in North
Fremantle, Western Australia. Operations will
commence in late 2023.
Following the scaled demonstrator, the next
step in the product roadmap will be the
integration of MoorPower into an operating
environment in a Commercial Scale Prototype,
likely to be in Tasmania with our Blue
Economy partners.
In addition, Carnegie is working with
international partners to explore the global
market opportunities for MoorPower.
20

Partnerships and
Collaborative Ecosystems
Collaboration plays a key role in the development and commercialisation of our wave
energy technologies. We build and foster collaborative ecosystems with strategic
commercialisation partners, industry partners, research institutions and industry
associations. These partnerships are key to delivering global wave energy projects utilising
our technologies, driving innovation and cost reductions in our technologies and supporting
delivery of our ambitious vision for the wave energy industry.
Project Development
As a leading technology provider offering wave
energy technologies for global energy projects,
Carnegie engages with project development
partners rather than delivering this all under
a build, own operate model. We are working
with strategic project development partners
and project owners to develop a pipeline
of future projects that will licence our
technologies.
Being part of this ecosystem involves ongoing
engagement with project developers, large
energy utilities around the world, investors
and more.
Innovation
Progress along our commercialisation pathway
will see ongoing innovation delivering further
performance improvements which drive cost
reductions, as seen in every energy industry’s
historical journey.
We partner with leading industry groups
like Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE),
the multinational enterprise information
technology company, with whom we
are working collaboratively to develop a
reinforcement learning based controller
for the CETO wave energy technology. The
work complements the artificial intelligence
development underway at Carnegie and
supports Carnegie’s efforts to develop
controllers that maximise the performance
and cost of the CETO technology.
Carnegie’s active participation in the Blue
Economy Cooperative Research Centre
(BE CRC) showcases the innovation and
market opportunities that can emerge from
collaboration. Our leadership of projects
like MoorPower Scaled Demonstrator and
Mooring Tensioner for Wave Energy Converters
(MoTWEC), demonstrates how working with
like-minded partners can provide crucial
financial support, and engagement with
new partners, new markets and greater
market insights.
Carnegie also collaborates with world-
class academic and research institutions
both in Australia and internationally. These
partnerships grant access to world-class
resources and expertise and promote
knowledge exchange, further enriching the
company’s research and development efforts
and delivering innovation intended to deliver
future cost reduction improvements along the
technology commercialisation pathway.
Industry Representation
Participation in industry associations, such as
the Australian Ocean Energy Group (AOEG),
Ocean Energy Europe (OEE), and the UK Marine
Energy Council, highlights our commitment to
collaboration with our peers across the ocean
energy sector globally. These associations
provide a platform for sharing experiences,
learning from others, and influencing policies
that are shaping the industry’s future. By
being actively engaged in these groups, we
play a leadership role in the emerging wave
energy industry and remain at the forefront of
industry developments.
21
The ecosystem of collaboration that Carnegie has cultivated is part of how we continue propelling
our wave energy technologies forward. Through partnerships, research alliances, and industry
engagement, we leverage a vast pool of expertise, resources, and opportunities, ensuring we
remain at the forefront of wave energy innovation and contributing significantly to the growth of
the global ocean energy industry.
22
07
Garden Island Microgrid
One of Carnegie’s unique assets is its 100% ownership of the Garden Island Microgrid
(GIMG), located on HMAS Stirling in Western Australia. Through this asset, Carnegie sells
clean renewable energy to the Department of Defence under an Electricity
Supply Agreement.
The asset also offers a unique opportunity
for future wave energy projects through its
available electrical connection point, existing
offshore infrastructure, and ability to sell
power through the existing Electricity Supply
Agreement. The offshore wave lease area
was the site of Carnegie’s previous Perth
Wave Energy Project and any future projects
could benefit from the previous site data and
infrastructure investments made at the site.
The Garden Island Microgrid system includes:
•
•
2MW Solar PV Array
2MW Battery Energy Storage System
• Offshore lease area for wave energy
• Onshore electrical connection point
for future wave energy deployments in
Carnegie offshore lease area
During the year, the team completed repair works under an insurance claim for some sections
of the array that were damaged by a storm event. In August 2023, a dispute with a supplier was
resolved related to the provision of solar panels. This resulted in the supplier making a settlement
payment to Carnegie of approximately $1.5m.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
30 JUNE 2023
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year to 30 June 2023, the Group’s activities included the following:
Product Validation Roadmap
During the year, Carnegie progressed its products in line with the Product Validation Roadmap for core
CETO and MoorPower product development released in June 2022. The Roadmap outlines activities
that have been and continue to be delivered during 2023 and beyond to validate Carnegie’s products.
This validation process is an important stage in the commercialisation pathways of our products.
Carnegie has made strong progress to validate its core CETO and MoorPower technologies through
delivery of projects that have support from key partners and funding bodies. CETO Wave Energy
Ireland’s continued participation in the EuropeWave PCP Programme and Carnegie’s MoorPower
Projects are key mechanisms being utilised to validate the technologies in this Roadmap. These
activities are supported by the Company’s strong partner ecosystem, which includes Hewlett Packard
Enterprise and Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (CRC).
CETO Wave Energy Product
CETO is Carnegie’s core technology, a submerged point absorber type wave energy converter which
converts ocean waves into zero-emission electricity. The CETO technology was progressed as
intended via the Digital Development Pathway and Product Validation Roadmap during the year.
The technical and commercial promise of the CETO technology is reaffirmed by the successful selection
in the competitive €22.5m EuropeWave PCP Programme for the advancement of wave energy
technologies. Carnegie’s wholly owned subsidiary CETO Wave Energy Ireland (CWEI), along with a
strong consortium of partners, was selected to deliver Phase 1 and subsequently, was awarded a Phase
2 contract in September 2022. During the year, under these EuropeWave contracts, CWEI completed
the Phase 1 and Phase 2 activities. Subsequent to the year end, CWEI was awarded Phase 3 contract
to build and operate a CETO scaled prototype at the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) test site
in the Basque Region of Spain.
As part of the EuropeWave Phase 1 Project, completed in July 2022, the team:
Advanced the design of a CETO prototype intended to lead to the full design, manufacture,
deployment and operations of a CETO prototype at a European site in Phase 3. This
provides a clear validation pathway for the CETO technology.
Completed tank testing of a CETO model and equipment at the Cantabria Coastal Ocean
Basin in Spain. The project team conducted over 200 tests during the campaign and was
pleased with CETO’s performance in the simulated wave conditions. The testing was
independently evaluated to validate CETO’s energy capture efficiency in European wave
conditions.
As part of the EuropeWave Phase 2 Project, completed in June 2023, the team:
Completed the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) of the CETO prototype that will
support the deployment and operations of a CETO prototype at a European site in Phase 3.
This provides a clear validation pathway for the CETO technology.
Completed tank testing to validate the performance of Carnegie’s advanced controllers and
CETO’s novel survival strategy for extreme sea states at the Cantabria Coastal Ocean Basin
in Spain. The team worked in collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to successfully
validate the new reinforcement learning controller, a first for the wave energy industry.
Reinforcement learning is an area of artificial intelligence in which a machine learning based
controller is built with the ability to self-learn. This advanced controller has significant
potential to improve the efficiency of the device and provide additional safety in extreme
seas.

CETO Wave Energy Technology (continued)
Phase 2 testing also validated the survivability of CETO in extreme conditions by testing
novel survivability approaches that can significantly reduce CAPEX. The testing was
independently evaluated following completion.
Undertook PTO testing to support de-risking of the novel PTO to be deployed in Phase 3. In
addition to testing undertaken during Phase 2, additional testing through the IMPACT Project
is ongoing and results will feed into Phase 3 activities.
Collaborated with DNV to undertake technology qualification activities and deliver a
certification plan.
At the end of the financial year, the team worked to prepare its tender for consideration to continue to
Phase 3 of the EuropeWave Programme. This tender was submitted in early July 2023 with successful
contract award announced subsequent to year end, in September 2023.
Of the five contractors who delivered Phase 2, three contractors were selected to deliver Phase 3, in
which the EuropeWave Buyers Group contracts the parties to complete final design then manufacture,
deploy and operate their prototype at the open-water test site of Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP)
in Spain or the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Scotland. CWEI has selected BiMEP as the
deployment site. Phase 3 activities commence in September 2023 and run through to May 2026.
The team progressed development of the Mooring Tensioner, a component which provides passive
tension required for rotary electric power take-off systems, such as is required for CETO and
MoorPower. The MoTWEC (Mooring Tensioner for the Wave Energy Converters) Project is supported
by the Blue Economy CRC and being delivered in collaboration with partners.
Project partner Advanced Composite Structures Australia (ACS-A) and Carnegie have designed a
Mooring Tensioner prototype that was manufactured by ACS-A. Carnegie designed and constructed
a test rig that capable of undertaking functional and fatigue testing on the prototype. The Mooring
Tensioner test rig was commissioned, and testing is ongoing at Carnegie’s private research facility in
Western Australia.
MoorPower Wave Energy Product
MoorPower is a CETO derived wave energy product designed to deliver a sustainable energy supply
for marine industries operating at a fixed moored location, reducing the reliance on diesel.
The $3.4m MoorPower Scaled Demonstrator Project that the team has been undertaking during the
financial year has support from the Blue Economy CRC and is being delivered in collaboration with a
strong consortium of partners. including Huon Aquaculture and Tassal Group. Aquaculture industry
partners Huon and Tassal could become the first adopters of the MoorPower commercial product.
During the year, the MoorPower team completed the design of the MoorPower scaled demonstrator,
acquired a barge to be utilised for the demonstrator, prepared the barge for installation of the
MoorPower system, manufactured and procured the MoorPower system components and commenced
testing of the core elements of the prototype at its research facility. Final testing and assembly works
are underway in advance of deployment just offshore from Carnegie’s research facility in Western
Australia.
Garden Island Microgrid
Under Carnegie’s Power Supply Agreement, the Department of Defence continues to purchase all
power produced by the Garden Island Microgrid.

Garden Island Microgrid (continued)
During and subsequent to the year, the team continued to work through some equipment and
operational issues which have constrained the output of the system during the year and achieved
resolution on several issues:
Operations and Maintenance Contractor, Secure Energy, replaced four hundred (400) solar
panels and some structural framing on the array during the year. This work was undertaken
following the receipt of an insurance claim paid due to a storm event.
Subsequent to end of year, Carnegie and a supplier agreed, without admission of liability, to
settle a dispute related to the provision of solar panels to the Garden Island Microgrid on
terms set out in a Deed of Settlement and Release. As part of the Settlement, the supplier
paid to Carnegie the sum of $1,534,648 in consideration for releases provided by both
parties.
Corporate
Carnegie Clean Energy established a new wholly owned subsidiary in Spain, Carnegie Technologies
Spain Ltd. This new subsidiary will support R&D and commercialisation projects for Carnegie’s product
portfolio in Europe.
In November 2022, the Company delivered an Investor Webinar which provided an overview of
Carnegie’s strategy and progress hosted by CEO Jonathan Fievez and Chairman Terry Stinson.
The Annual General Meeting was held on November 22, 2022. All resolutions were passed.
FINANCIAL POSITION
The net assets of the Group increased by $490 thousand from $20.73 million to $21.22 million as at 30 June 2023.
This is predominantly the options exercised and also the result of the net loss for the period during the period.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
There has been no other significant change in the state of affairs of the Group to the date of this report.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO YEAR END
On 28 August 2023 the Company and a supplier to its Garden Island project have agreed to settle a
dispute related to the provision of solar panels. The terms are set out in a Deed of Settlement and
Release with key term being payment to Carnegie from the supplier. Carnegie has received the sum of
$1,534,648 on 25 August 2023 in consideration for releases provided by both parties. This amount has
been accrued in the financial statements as other income.
On 6 September 2023 the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, CETO Wave Energy
Ireland, was awarded a €3,746,531 Phase 3 EuropeWave contract to build and operate a CETO wave
energy prototype at a European Test Site. As the top ranked contractor, the team was able to select its
preferred deployment site at the Biscay Marine Energy Platform in the Basque region of Spain. The
contracted project runs from 2023 to 2026 with CETO deployment forecast for 2025.
Other than the items above, there has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen after balance date that
has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations,
or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES
Strategy
The company has two major focus areas: commercialising the CETO and MoorPower technologies. In the
interest of astute capital management, Carnegie has looked for, and found, programmes and organisations to
financially support these developments.

AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
DIRECTORS' REPORT
30 JUNE 2023
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES (continued)
Strategy (continued)
For CETO, the strategy has been to secure a continuation of the EuropeWave programme since it aligns
perfectly with the technology roadmap and provides the vast majority of funding to complete the companies first
ocean deployment in Europe. Europe is the most attractive jurisdiction for wave energy deployments currently
given the targets set by the EU and the support on offer.
The focus on EuropeWave paid off with a contract awarded for phase 3 in early September. Additionally, the
work on phase 2 and the bid for phase 3 was ranked first amongst the three finalists selected, giving Carnegie
first choice of the deployment sites on offer.
The strategy going forward is to use the success of EuropeWave to attract a partner to drive development of the
follow-on project. Importantly the EuropeWave programme also provides the 3rd party assessment of the
technology and the company, crucial inputs to the investment decisions of a project partner.
For MoorPower, the strategy has also been to demonstrate the technology in order to build confidence within the
pool of potential customers. This is why the company has, with the support of the Blue Economy CRC, formed
and executed a project to deploy a scaled demonstration of the MoorPower system on a barge.
The MoorPower Scaled Demonstrator project has completed all design phases and is now in construction with
deployment to occur in October 2023. Once sufficient operational time has been achieved with adequate results
the securing of the second phase can commence. This involves working with project partners, Huon and Tassal,
together with the Blue Economy CRC to form the project that will see the MoorPower system at commercial
scale installed on a working feed barge.
Risks
The need for renewable energy is only increasing. Governments are progressively recognising the growing
risk that climate change and other related pollutants pose to health and security. There are various
mechanisms in place in the major markets of the USA and Europe that support the energy transition with
specific elements that focus on the emerging field of ocean energy. Whilst this support is currently growing,
risks are present due the reluctance of governments and agencies to take a long term view in the face of the
worsening crisis. Technologies that are mature may potentially take a larger share of the support available as
they are deployable at scale today.
At the project level, risks are present with finalising the design and securing supply of critical components.
While the designs of both CETO and MoorPower seek to predominantly use of-the-shelf items, some are
bespoke and a limited number of suppliers exist to provide them. This could delay the deployment or result is
poor performance or reliability once in service.
With MoorPower deployment occurring imminently the risks associated operating a vessel at sea come into
play. From a strategic risk perspective, poor reliability would not give comfort to the future project partners that
this project seeks to achieve.
ESG factors are predominantly positive for the company but some risks remain. With deployed equipment
there is a risk that they break free and do environmental damage to an area where they rest. Given there are
negligible fluids or chemicals onboard both CETO and MoorPower, any damage is likely to be minor. This
would however impact the social licence that wave energy acquires fairly easily due to its minimal visual
impact.
Conclusion
Carnegie is positioned incredibly well to capitalise on the global ambition to decarbonise energy production at
all levels. At utility scale, project developers and utilities are both aiming to be at the forefront of this emerging
technology and are actively looking for the leading companies in the field. Governments are looking to ensure
that they secure the sovereign capability that comes with the first mover advantage.
For MoorPower customers, the demands for ESG reporting, particularly around emissions, are leading them
to look for diesel replacements. This is evident in the first market for MoorPower, the aquaculture feed barge
market.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES (continued)
Conclusion (continued)
Having two demonstration projects underway in Europe and Australia, Carnegie is now in a phase of high
visibility which will rapidly build credibility with the supporting agencies and future customers. This is also likely
to stimulate investors and build upon the strong financial position the company is in today.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
30 JUNE 2023
REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (Continued)
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for KMP of the Group is as follows:
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the Executive Directors and other senior
executives, was developed by the Board of Directors after seeking professional advice from independent
external consultants. The Board of Directors benchmarks the Company’s salaries payable to senior
management by reference to independent industry data to ensure that the Company is consistent with prevailing
market conditions. All executives receive a base annual salary (which is based on factors such as length of
service and experience). The Board of Directors has chosen to adopt an equity-based approach to remunerating
executive staff and employees. The Company utilised the Employee Share Option Plan as adopted by
shareholders in November 2020 as the mechanism by which options may be issued to executive management
and staff to adequately incentivise these individuals.
The Board of Directors reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Group’s performance,
executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar
industries and then considers the justification of any salary review or participation in the Employee Share Option
Plan.
The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed annually with each executive and is based
predominantly on the past year’s growth in shareholders’ value over the financial year and by contrast with its
peers and industry sector. All incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The policy is
designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term
growth in shareholder wealth.
The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for time, commitment and
responsibilities. The Executive Directors determine payments to the Non-Executive Directors and review their
remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is
sought when required. No remuneration consultants were used during the year. The maximum aggregate fees
that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Carnegie Clean Energy Limited (“the Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial
statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2023 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries
(“the Group”). The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and
entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Company:
has power over the investee;
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement in with the investee; and
has the ability to its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements listed above.
The separate financial statements of the Company have not been presented within this financial report as
permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a ‘for profit’ entity for financial reporting purposes under
Australian Accounting Standards.
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 14 September 2023.
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards (AASB), adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act
2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a
financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which
they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes
also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise
stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where
applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial
liabilities.
New and amended accounting standards and interpretations
In the year ended 30 June 2023, the Directors have reviewed all of the revised Standards and Interpretations
issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting year. The
Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and
Interpretations on the Company’s business and, therefore, no change necessary to the Group accounting policies.
Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by
Carnegie Clean Energy Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which
Carnegie Clean Energy Limited has the power to direct the activities of the entity and is exposed to, or has rights
to, variable returns from its involvement. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly
through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the
existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax
expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using
applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets)
are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during
the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or
loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result
where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be
recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no
effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date.
Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying
amount of the related asset or liability.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that
net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and
liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different
taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective
asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are
expected to be recovered or settled.
Carnegie Clean Energy Limited has not formed a tax consolidated group with its Australian wholly owned
subsidiaries. As such each entity is responsible for accounting for its own current and deferred tax amounts. Any
unused tax losses and unused tax credits are therefore quarantined at each entity and are unavailable to the
remainder of the Group.
Research and development
Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when
it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the Group is
able to use or sell the asset; the Group has sufficient resources and intent to complete the development; and its
costs can be measured reliably. The capitalised development costs are an intangible asset not yet ready for use
and are therefore not currently subject to amortisation.
Impairment of intangible assets
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, or are not yet ready for use, are not subject to amortisation
and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for
the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Impairment of intangible assets (continued)
Recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-
use is the present value of the estimated future cashflows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate
specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent
cashflow flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisitions of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net costs of each item of plant & equipment.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are:
Class of Fixed Asset
Plant and equipment
Microgrid/Battery asset
Depreciation Rate
10.0% - 33.33%
15 years
Residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
reporting date.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of
the assets, whichever is shorter.
Any item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or where there is no future economic
benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to
profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the items disposed of is transferred directly to
accumulated losses.
Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at
cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentive received, any initial direct costs incurred,
and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling
and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated
useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset
at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of-use assets are subject to
impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at
the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate
implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease
payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend
on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase
option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties.
The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are expensed in the period in which they are
incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Lease liabilities (continued)
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are
remeasured if there is a change in the following; future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a
rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease
liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of-use asset, or to profit or loss if the
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
Financial Instruments
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire,
or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred.
A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the
transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for
transaction costs (where applicable).
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as
hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories:
amortised cost
fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within
finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is
presented within other expenses.
The classification is determined by both:
the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within
finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is
presented within other expenses.
Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction
costs. Where appropriate they are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method
Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.
The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the
statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Financial Instruments (Continued)
On the issue of convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an
equivalent non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a financial liability on the amortised cost basis until
extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the application of the effective
interest method is recognised as a finance cost. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion
option. Where the conversion option meets the definition of equity, it is recognised and included in shareholders’
equity, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in the subsequent
years. The corresponding interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss.
Foreign Currency
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian
dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except
where deferred to equity as qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to
balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the
amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later
than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for
those benefits.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in
exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services,
where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently
determined using either Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price,
the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the
underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together
with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle
the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over
the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the
award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting
period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting
date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

NOTE 1.
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Share-based payments (continued)
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying
either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on
which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated
as follows:
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date
multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
From the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the
liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the
cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market
conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all
other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been
made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases
the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the
condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee
and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the
remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining
expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the
cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for
which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result, and that outflow can be reliably measured.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of
changes in value.
Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled
in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group:
identifies the contact with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the
transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money;
allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone
selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each
performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods of service
promised.
Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods,
which is generally at the time of delivery.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue and Other Income (continued)
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either
a fixed price or hourly rate.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the
financial asset.
Royalty income
Royalty income is recognised on an accrual basis. Royalty income, when applicable, is received on a quarterly
basis and any under or over accrual applicable to previously recognised royalty income is adjusted for based on
the receipt of the royalty income entitlement.
Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain unpaid
at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid
within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT)
Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST and VAT, except where the amount
of GST and VAT incurred are not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST and VAT are
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and
payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST and VAT.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST and VAT component
of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
Government Grants and Research and Development Tax Incentives
Government grants and research and development tax incentives are recognised at fair value where there is
reasonable assurance that the grant or tax incentive will be received, and all grant or tax incentive conditions will
be met. Where grantor tax incentive conditions are not yet fully met, grants or tax incentives will be treated as
unearned funding in the statement of financial position. Grants or tax incentives relating to expense items are
recognised as an offset against these expenses to match the costs they are compensating. Grants or tax
incentives relating to items capitalised as assets are recognised as an offset against the asset to match the costs
they are compensating.
Earnings/(loss) per share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) attributable to members of the Group, adjusted to
exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares on issue throughout the reporting period.
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) attributable to members of the Group, adjusted
for, the dilutive effects of any outstanding unlisted options over ordinary shares in the parent.
Fair Value Measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure
purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction
will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous
market.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value Measurement (continued)
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability,
assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based
on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient
data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs, and
minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects
the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting
date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement.
Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds.
Financial Assets
The Group has no significant financial assets held at fair value, not did it have any in the prior period.
Financial Liabilities
The Group has no significant financial liabilities held at fair value through the profit or loss, nor did it have any in
the prior period.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment required a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based
on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an
overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include historical collection rates, the impact
of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and forward-looking information that is available. The allowance for
expected credit losses is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit
losses in future years may be higher or lower.
New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2023. New
Accounting Standards applicable for future periods are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements,
apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the
financial statements:
Impairment of development asset
The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group
and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of
the asset is determined. Annual impairment testing is also carried out for all intangible assets (refer to Note 13).
The CETO development asset is an intangible asset which is not yet available for use which the Group tests
annually for impairment. Refer to Note 13 for details of the significant assumptions and judgements utilised in this
assessment.

The CETO technology has yet to be commercialised and is in the development phase. As it is not yet ready for
use, it is necessary to test the asset annually for impairment. The recoverable amount is determined as the fair
value and the ‘relief from royalty’ methodology (RRM) is used to determine this amount. Management has
considered the RRM as being the most appropriate methodology to value CETO technology as:
RRM is a commonly used and widely accepted method for valuing intellectual property (IP), and
A cost-based approach can be used as a crosscheck using the costs required to replicate the IP. Whilst
Management have details on the historical expenditure incurred in developing and maintaining the IP, it is
not possible to identify what proportion of the historical expenditure is now obsolete.
A market-based approach is also rarely applied in the valuation of IP due to lack of comparable transactions of IP
from which valuation metrics can be observed and deducted. The basic principle of the relief from royalty
methodology (RRM) is that if the intellectual property (IP) is not owned, there would need to be payment to license
it from the IP owner. By virtue of owning the asset, the IP owner is ‘relieved’ from the responsibility of licensing
the IP from a third party. The value of that is therefore benchmarked to the hypothetical cost to license such IP
from a third party.
The determination of fair value is based on ‘fair value’ as defined under AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement. In
the current year management has prepared a valuation model using the RRM. The RRM utilises an estimate of
the forecast royalty stream that a hypothetical third party would pay to utilise the IP less the costs of
commercialisation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
NOTE 13.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)
The development asset in its entirety is classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating units is most
sensitive. The calculation of the fair value less cost of disposal is based on the following key assumptions:
Expected revenue generated from the sale of CETO IP units, based on a minority market share of the world’s
installed wave energy capacity;
Remaining useful life of the IP will have a life beyond the remaining patent period as new technology is
developed and patented. As such, a 15-year forecast period with a terminal value has been utilised in the
financial model;
A royalty rate range of 3% to 5% with a mid-point of 4% has been applied. To determine a royalty rate range,
royalty rates associated with the renewable energy sector were considered and selected;
Management estimates of the cost to Carnegie (net of grants and research & development rebates) to
commercialise would require an R&D budget of $2 million per year until 2026;
A tax rate of 25% until revenues reach $50m and 30% where revenue is above $50m;
A discount rate of 21% derived by applying the capital asset pricing model (CAPM).
On this basis, the valuation model calculated a net-present-value (recoverable amount) range that was higher
than the carrying value of the development asset at 30 June 2023. Therefore, no impairment is required.

BUSINESS RISK
The net loss of the Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 was $630,396 (2022: net loss $1,924,680,
which included a profit on discontinued operations of $369,337). As at 30 June 2023, the Group had net assets
of $21,224,357 (2022: $20,733,675).
As the Group continues to develop its proprietary technologies, it expects to have a net decrease in cash from
operating activities until it achieves positive cash flow.
The Group cannot say with certainty when it will become profitable because of the uncertainties associated with
successfully commercialising a wave energy technology. If existing resources are insufficient to satisfy the liquidity
requirements, the Group may seek to sell its solar microgrid asset, issue additional equity or debt securities or
obtain credit facilities. If the Group is unable to obtain required financing, it may be required to reduce the scope
of its planned product development and commercialisation efforts which could adversely affect its financial position
and operating results.
NOTE 20.
OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Group identifies its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the
Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of
resources.
The Group is organised into two operating segments:
- Discontinued operations
- Continuing operations
No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.
The financial information presented in the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position
is the same as that presented to the chief operating decision maker. Segment performance is evaluated based
on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. However,
financing (including finance costs and finance income), gains and losses on fair value movements through profit
and loss, royalties, share of profit and losses of associates, losses on consolidation and disposal of associates,
and income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.
Intersegment transactions are on arm’s length basis and are eliminated on consolidation. Intersegment loans are
initially recognised at the consideration received and earn or incur interest at prevailing market rates. Intersegment
loans are eliminated on consolidation.
All amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker are in accordance with accounting
policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to
recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the
Statement of Financial Position and Notes to the Financial Statements.
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under
financial instruments entered into by the Group. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counter
parties are banks with high credit ratings.

Financial Risk Management Policies (continued)
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(c) Net fair value
The net fair value and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the Statement
of Financial Position and in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market the net fair value has been based on a
reasonable estimation of the underlying net assets or discounted cash flows of the investment, where this could
not be done, they have been carried at cost. No financial assets or financial liabilities are readily traded on
organised markets in standardised form other than investments.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position have been analysed
and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the
measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:
- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
-
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level
3).

(d) Sensitivity Analysis
Interest Rate Risk
The Group is not subject to any significant interest rate risk.
(e) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises form the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or
otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the
following mechanisms:
Preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and
financing activities;
Monitoring undrawn credit facilities;
Obtaining funding from variety of sources;
Managing credit risk related to financial assets;
Comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial
Investing only in surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
assets.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled
entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023,
the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of
changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act
2001, including:
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and
(b)
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section
of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical
Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence
Standards) (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to
be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Carrying value of intangible assets
Refer to Note 13
As at 30 June 2023, the Group has recorded
intangible assets with a value of $14,339,213 which
relate
to capitalised development costs and
intellectual property associated with the CETO
technology development asset. This asset is in the
development phase and is not yet available for use.
Under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, intangible
assets that are not yet available for use are subject
to an annual impairment assessment irrespective of
whether indicators of impairment exist. We consider
the recoverability of intangible assets to be a key
audit matter as

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023, but does not include the financial
report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report, or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and
fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
49
74
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations,
or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this
financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
−
−
−
−
−
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to
the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
50
75
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected
to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION REPORT
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included within the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June
2023.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited for the year ended 30 June 2023
complies with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration
Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing
Standards.
