Details
The Hydrogen BECCS
Innovation Programme will support technologies which can produce
hydrogen from biogenic feedstocks and be combined with carbon
capture. It forms part of the BEIS
£1 billion Net Zero Innovation
Portfolio, which aims to accelerate the commercialisation of
innovative clean energy technologies and processes through the
2020s and 2030s.
The programme will run in 2 phases. Phase 1 (total budget £5
million) will support multiple projects to scope and develop a
feasible prototype demonstration project to be run in Phase 2.
Through a pre-commercial, fully funded procurement Small Business
Research Initiative (SBRI), this programme aims to support
innovative Hydrogen BECCS
technology solutions across 3 categories:
1. Feedstock pre-processing: the development of low cost, energy
and material efficient technologies which will optimise biogenic
(including biomass and waste) feedstocks for use in advanced
gasification technologies.
2. Gasification components: the development of advanced
gasification technology components focusing on improving syngas
quality and upgrading for generation of hydrogen.
3. Novel biohydrogen technologies: the development of novel
biohydrogen technologies which can be combined with carbon
capture, such as dark fermentation, anaerobic digestion, waste
water treatment.
We held an online Supplier Engagement Workshop in November 2021
to help potential suppliers understand more about the competition
and ask questions: see the slide pack and questions and answers
from the session.
