About the competition

£3m Contracts for Innovation: Resource Efficiency Impacts Competition funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) in collaboration with Innovate UK. The aim of this competition is to build on the DESNZ Unlocking Resource Efficiency research by supporting organisations to deliver an impact validation report for a resource efficiency solution, identifying the environmental and commercial impacts of deploying the solution in a real world setting.

This should be informed by a demonstration using data from technologies in the true operating environment. In order to get this data, the funding can cover the cost of doing a demonstration of the technology in the relevant operating setting, which may be carried out as part of the funded project from this call. We recognise that demonstrators have been run in other recent programmes, so funding can also cover deeper analysis (LCA) that includes findings from previous demonstrations, provided this was conducted within the last 5 years.

The innovative resource efficiency solutions should address themes in one of the following strands:

  • Resource Efficient Chemicals Impacts
  • Resource Efficient Construction Impacts
  • Resource Efficient Automotive Impacts
