Industrial Fuel Switching Competition Phase 2

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has launched Phase 2 of the Industrial Fuel Switching (IFS) Competition.

IFS aims to support the development of fuel switching and fuel switch enabling technologies for the UK industry. This includes fuel switches from high-carbon fuels to hydrogen, electricity, biomass, and other low-carbon fuels.

Phase 2 provides up to £49.4 million in funding with £1 million to £6 million available per project. Funding will be awarded through Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) contracts, providing 100 per cent funding for pre-commercial solutions.

Funding is divided into 3 lots:

• Fuel switch and fuel switch enabling technologies for hydrogen
• Fuel switch and fuel switch enabling technologies for electrification
• Fuel switch and fuel switch enabling technologies for biomass, wastes, and other net zero compatible fuels
