## Summary

Natural England has completed the procurement process for a project titled "PRAPS056 - Novel technologies - evidence review" under the industry category of Environmental monitoring other than for construction (CPV 90711500). The contract, valued at £51,165.25, focuses on deploying hydrogen production and carbon capture and storage in low carbon industrial clusters. The procurement follows a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract period spanning from 16th September 2024 to 15th November 2024. The project location is within Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, with key deadlines including the tender end date of 27th August 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in environmental technologies, particularly those capable of innovating in sustainable energy solutions. Businesses engaged in the development and application of novel technologies for environmental monitoring and carbon reduction could find substantial growth potential through participating in such projects. Large entities, like the identified supplier Ricardo-AEA Limited, are well-suited to compete, leveraging their resources to meet the rigorous demands and complex requirements of government-led sustainability initiatives.

## Notice

The UK government has set a target for two low carbon industrial clusters deploying hydrogen production and carbon capture and storage by the mid-2020s, and a minimum of four by 2030. This offers both an opportunity to decouple economic growth from greenhouse gas emissions in industrial heartlands by decarbonising carbon-intensive industry and generating cleaner energy. The proposed projects to achieve this ambition comprise a range of novel technologies with many unknown impact pathways.
