Notice Title

CR20091 - Evaluation of Industrial Fuel Switching and Hydrogen Supply Innovation Programmes

Notice Description

**THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION** This was awarded under Crown Commercial Services Research Marketplace Dynamic Purchasing System RM6018. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy's (BEIS) is responsible for business, industrial strategy, science, research and innovation, energy and clean growth, and climate change. Initiated in 2015, BEIS' Energy Innovation Programme (EIP) seeks to reduce the UK's carbon emissions and the cost of decarbonisation, by accelerating the commercialisation of innovative clean energy technologies and processes into the 2020's and 2030s. The Programme, with a budget of PS505m and completing in March 2021, consists of six themes, one of which focuses on investment (of around PS100m) in industrial decarbonisation and carbon capture, use and storage. This theme incorporates the two programmes under consideration here: * The Industrial Fuel Switching (IFS) to Low Carbon Alternatives programme - which seeks to develop, demonstrate and reduce the cost of fuel switching processes and technologies, with the aim of developing a range of technologies to be available by 2030+ * The Hydrogen Supply (HS) programme - which seeks to develop, demonstrate and reduce the cost of low carbon bulk hydrogen solutions (production, storage and supply). Both programmes involve multiple phases of funding and activity, which will conclude by March 2021. For this purpose, we seek to commission an evaluation that combines an impact evaluation (to assess programme achievements and value for money) with a process evaluation (to learn lessons about optimal programme design and delivery), and a case study approach, reporting at interim (June 2021) and final (June 2022) stages.
