When a call-for-proposals is open you can apply on-line for a grant of up to £250K towards the cost of your project. A minimum 40% match funding is required, and, to be successful your project must demonstrate:
- Genuine innovation and the potential to contribute to substantial reductions in UK greenhouse gas emissions
- That the work is a well planned and builds on previous work in the area
- That the results of the work will allow a clear step forward on the path towards commercialisation
- That it represents good value for money
- Provides demonstrative benefit to the UK.
The Carbon Trust operates a two stage application process, with a competitive element at both stages. To date all of our calls have been substantially over-subscribed and competition has been intense. Successful projects closely match our selection criteria and only those proposals that make a strong case against all of the criteria have the prospect of progressing to the next stage in the process.
The Application Process
Forthcoming calls for proposals:
Summer 2008: 9th June - 7th August.
Autumn 2008: 13th October - 4th December.
There are two stages to the application process: initial on-line application, followed by full proposal. we use independent, external assessors to help inform our decisions and selection for funding is extremely competitive. The final decision rests with the Carbon Trust and is not subject to appeal.
