## Summary

The Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is currently conducting the SBRI Greenhouse Gas Removals Innovation Competition - Phase 1 [Design Study]. This procurement falls under the research and development sector, specifically focusing on innovative greenhouse gas removal technologies that are not reliant on afforestation or habitat restoration. The submission deadline for proposals is set for 2pm on 5 February 2021, with the contract period beginning on 6 April 2021, and scheduled for completion by 15 December 2021. Interested parties can expect to engage in a two-phase process, where successful applicants in the first phase will be eligible for pilot demonstrations in the second phase.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in innovative environmental technologies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focused on research and development. Companies harnessing technologies at a maturity level between 4 and 7, particularly in carbon capture and related fields, are encouraged to participate in this competition. Firms that can develop novel greenhouse gas removal methods are well-positioned to capitalise on this funding, contributing not only to their growth but also to the UK's net-zero ambitions.

## Notice

Notice summary: The supplier must undertake and report on a design study into the development of innovative greenhouse gas removals or greenhouse gas removals enabling technologies that are not associated with afforestation, or habitat restoration. Description: Background On 30 July the Prime Minister announced PS100 million of funding for research and development into Direct Air Capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide technologies for the UK. As part of this commitment, BEIS is looking to invest up to PS70m in DAC and other potential GGR technologies that could be deployed in the UK. This aligns closely with BEIS's wider innovation work to enable the UK to meet its net-zero commitment. There is still significant uncertainty around many GGR technologies. 1. Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering, 2018, Greenhouse Gas Removal. Available from: https://royalsociety.org/topics-policy/projects/greenhouse-gas-removal/ Competition Details The GGR Technologies Innovation Competition is to support the development of innovative greenhouse gas removals technologies. It is to support the development of technologies that are not yet commercial rather than supporting technologies that are already mature. Therefore, the technologies to be developed must be at a technology readiness level (TRL) between 4 and 7 at the start of the project. The ultimate objective is to trial the technologies at pilot scale. The aim of the GGR Technologies Innovation Competition is to identify, support and then develop credible greenhouse gas removals technologies/enabling technologies bringing about a step change in their development. The competition will be split up into two phases with Phase 1 focusing on an initial design study, followed by Phase 2 which will support a pilot demonstration. Only those applicants who are successful in Phase 1 and have completed their design study may enter into Phase 2. A separate application form will be released before the end of the Phase 1 feasibility study, which will be used to assess applicants for the Phase 2 demonstration study. Additional information: How to Apply If you wish to take part in this competition please see the Tender documents attached to this Notice and send your completed Proposal to Sam Bradley at address stipulated in the "Who to Contact " section. Any late submissions will not be considered. BEIS reserves the right to halt the procurement process and to not award a contract. BEIS will not be held liable for recovery of costs from unsuccessful bids if a contract is not awarded . If a contract is created it will be upon BEIS Terms and Conditions, which are available on Contracts Finder with this notice. Completed tender submission must be returned by email to ggr@beis.gov.uk by 2pm, 5 February 2021. After reviewing and evaluating the written proposals, BEIS may decide to hold bid clarification meetings with suppliers. If successful and upon contract signature, the supplier is expected to attend a kick-off meeting taking place on week commencing 5 April 2021. Project completion is required by 15 December 2021.
