The Net Zero Innovation Portfolio provides funding for
low-carbon technologies and systems. Decreasing the costs of
decarbonisation, the Portfolio will help enable the UK to end its
contribution to climate change.
ContentsInnovation is key to developing the green technologies needed to tackle climate change. The Net Zero Innovation Portfolio is a £1 billion fund, announced in the Prime Minister’s ten point plan for a green industrial revolution, to accelerate the commercialisation of low-carbon technologies, systems and business models in power, buildings, and industry. The Portfolio will decrease the costs of decarbonisation and set the UK on the path to a low carbon future. It will create world-leading industries and new green jobs, invest in our regions, and help make the UK a science and innovation superpower. Focussed on 10 priority areas, it includes:
Funding is being made available for projects right across Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Competitions will be launching throughout 2021, with opportunities to apply offered through the individual competition pages listed below. The Net Zero Innovation Portfolio succeeds the BEIS Energy Innovation Programme (EIP) which ran from 2015-2021. Future offshore windTo support the development and demonstration of state of the art technologies and products in the future offshore wind industry. Apply for the Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) Demonstration Programme Windfarm Mitigation for UK Air Defence Phase 2To support the development of technologies that enable the coexistence of future offshore windfarms alongside UK air defence surveillance systems. This competition will be delivered through the Defence and Security Accelerator.
Energy storage and flexibilityTo support flexibility services and technologies, as well as non-conventional storage at varying technology readiness levels.
BioenergyTo bring down costs and reduce barriers within the full biomass to energy value chain. This includes improving the productivity of the UK’s biomass supply, the availability of conversion technologies, and the generation processes for energy vectors such as biomethane, green hydrogen, biofuels and electricity
Direct air capture and greenhouse gas removal (GGR)To support the research and development of direct air capture technologies in the UK.
Industrial fuel switching
Disruptive technologiesTo support energy entrepreneurs to develop the best ideas for technologies, products and processes in energy efficiency, power generation and storage.
