Description

The project development stage of the Biomass Feedstocks Innovation Programme is now open for applications. The Biomass Feedstocks Innovation Programme, launched March 2021, aims to increase the production of sustainable domestic biomass by funding innovative ideas that address barriers to biomass feedstock production. It will support those who are seeking to improve productivity, through breeding, planting, cultivating and harvesting. BEIS has £4 million of competitive funding for the project development stage, with up to £200,000 of full funding available per project (there is no opportunity for applicants to obtain match funding). This will enable suppliers to develop strong project proposals that will deliver commercially viable innovations in biomass production. The Biomass Feedstocks Innovation Programme is seeking the best ideas from across the UK. The funding aims to support organisations, including small and medium-sized enterprises, who have the technical capability and project management expertise to deliver strong proposals. The competition is separated into 2 lots: lot 1 - innovation projects lot 2 - multi-site demonstrator The Biomass Feedstocks Innovation Programme forms part of BEIS' £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio, which aims to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative clean energy technologies and processes through the 2020s and 2030s. For background context the outputs of a scoping study are included.
