UK registered businesses and local authorities can apply for a share of up to £2 million to develop detailed local plans for innovative approaches to unlock non-technical systemic barriers to the delivery of net zero targets.

The aim of this competition is to support up to 30 places to develop a plan, with local authorities, to accelerate their transition to net zero.

You must consider the whole net zero system in your area, including:

  • Power
  • Heat
  • Mobility
  • Product manufacture and usage

This competition is open to collaborations only and closes on 30 November 2022.
