This tender falls under the broader Clean Growth Strategy, which emphasises the transition from fossil fuels to more sustainable energy sources. The procurement process is currently active, with a deadline for submitting applications set for 5pm on 4 February 2019. The opening of the tender is a part of a larger competition that aims to allocate £20 million across three phases to foster investments in innovative fuels. This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations engaged in architectural, construction, engineering, and research services. Businesses that specialise in low carbon technologies, feasibility studies, or innovative industrial fuel solutions are particularly well-suited to participate. By securing funding, successful bidders will not only contribute to the environmental goals of transitioning to low carbon fuels but also position themselves strategically within a growing market that prioritises sustainability beyond 2030. ## Notice Phase 2 of the Industrial Fuel Switching competition is now open to applications and will fund up to PS300k for feasibility studies looking into developing technologies (TRL 4-7) to enable the use of a low carbon fuel for a particular industrial process or across an entire site. The Clean Growth Strategy highlights the need for industry to begin to switch from fossil fuels to low carbon fuels such as biomass, hydrogen and clean electricity. Beyond 2030, the switch to low carbon fuels for industry will need to substantially increase in scale. BEIS has launched the three-phase Industrial Fuel Switching competition, which allocates up to PS20 million, to stimulate early investment in fuel switching processes and technologies, so that a range of technologies are available by 2030 and beyond. Element Energy successfully bid for Phase 1 which aims to understand the potential for industry to operate on low carbon fuels and the innovation required to enable this to happen. The study is complete and will be published here in due course. Phase 2 of the competition is now open to applications and will fund up to PS300k for feasibility studies looking into developing technologies (technology readiness level 4-7) to enable the use of a low carbon fuel for a particular industrial process or across an entire site. Funding for Phase 2 is split equally into two lots. Each lot has PS1.5m allocated to it, and projects may be up to PS300k. Lot 1 is for projects that run a feasibility study on an innovative fuel switching technology. Lot 2 is for projects that run a feasibility study on an innovative approach fuel switching across an industrial site, or multiple sites. If you are interested in applying, please see the guidance, application, declaration and finance forms below. Applicants must register their interest in Phase 2 of the competition by email to Industry.Innovation@beis.gov.uk by 5pm, Monday 21 January Applicants must complete the application forms below and submit by email to Industry.Innovation@beis.gov.uk by 5pm, Monday 4 February PLEASE NOTE 12/12/18 UPDATE: The report for Phase 1 of the Industrial Fuel Switching Competition has been completed by Element Energy and as of 12/12/18 is now available.
