## Summary

The Green Distilleries Competition: Phase 2, a public procurement initiative managed by the Business Energy and Industrial Strategy, aims to advance the development of low-carbon technologies within the distillation industry. This competition falls under the £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio announced in 2020, with a total value of £12.33 million allocated to improve energy efficiency in the sector. The tender period concluded on 5th May 2021, and the contract, valued at £2,650,041.64, is set to run from 3rd November 2021 until 30th June 2023. The procurement method used is classified as "Other - SBRI," focusing on research and development services and related consultancy services. The contract supports projects based in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in low-carbon technologies, particularly those engaged in the distillation process and related energy sectors. Enterprises that can innovate fuel-switching technologies or offer consultancy services in decarbonisation are well-positioned to compete. The initiative emphasises support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs), creating a favourable environment for smaller businesses to engage with public contracts and contribute to the transition to a lower-carbon economy.

## Notice

The Green Distilleries Programme is a PS12.33m Competition, which falls under the PS1b Net Zero Innovation Portfolio which was announced as part of the government's 10-point plan in 2020. The Net Zero Innovation Portfolio will accelerate the commercialisation of innovative low-carbon technologies, systems and processes in the power, buildings and industrial sectors. The Green Distilleries Competition aims to facilitate the least cost and maximum value-added transition pathways to a lower-carbon economy. As the majority of distillery emissions come from generating heat (70% of the distillation industry's energy demand), this competition will focus on fuel switching. Stimulating early investment in the processes and technologies required for fuel switching to low carbon fuels for heat will directly impact the cost of decarbonising industry, heat, power, and transport. The Green Distilleries Competition will be run in two Phases (feasibility and demonstration projects) and is split into two separate Lots (Lot 1 - will focus on fuel switching of the process and onsite power production, Lot 2 - will focus on innovation around fuel switch enabling technologies such as fuel conversion, transport and storage). PS1.01m was awarded to 17 Phase 1 (feasibility studies) projects and ended on 31/03/2021. Phase 2 is providing up to PS3,000,000 per project and will be funding 4 projects until 30/06/2023, during which successful projects can continue the development of their technology through to demonstration.
