## Summary

The Environment Agency (EA) has awarded a contract for the project titled "RDE 435 - Informing emission limits for low carbon fuels in combustion" to AECOM Ltd. The contract falls under the services category of research and development consultancy services. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 1st December 2023 to 31st March 2024, with a tender period closing on 27th November 2023. The location of the buying organisation is at 17 Smith Square, London, UK.

This procurement opportunity offers business growth potential for companies involved in research and development consultancy services, particularly in the field of setting emission limit values for low carbon fuels. Businesses with expertise in environmental permits, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and the use of hydrogen and/or ammonia in combustion systems would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The contract aims to develop guidance on emission limit setting for low carbon fuels, with the goal of finalising the guidance by March 2024. Interested parties should be prepared to contribute to the Technical Working Group and support the drafting of the guidance.

## Notice

The UK drive to Net Zero has resulted in a range of industrial sectors looking at the use of low carbon fuels in combustion systems, including the use of hydrogen and/or ammonia. As these fuels start to be used, the UK Regulators in England, Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland will need to set emission limit values in environmental permits, especially for oxides of nitrogen (NOx). To progress this work, the Environment Agency has agreement from the UK/Devolved Administrations Governance on industrial pollution control, to set up a Technical Working Group to develop guidance on emission limit setting for low carbon fuels. There have already been discussions with other UK Regulators, the British Flame Research Committee, Energy UK and DESNZ regarding possible approaches for limit setting, and provision of evidence to inform the Regulators decision making. In order to progress this work, with the ambition of securing near final guidance by March 2024, there is a need for resource to assist in a number of elements of the operation of the Technical Working Group, as well as the development and drafting of the guidance. This contract was awarded by EA.
