Innovation is key to developing the green technologies needed to tackle climate change. The Net Zero Innovation Portfolio is a £1 billion fund, announced in the
, to accelerate the commercialisation of low-carbon technologies, systems and business models in power, buildings, and industry. The Portfolio will decrease the costs of decarbonisation and set the UK on the path to a low carbon future. It will create world-leading industries and new green jobs, invest in our regions, and help make the UK a science and innovation superpower. Focused on 10 priority areas, it includes:
future offshore wind
nuclear advanced modular reactors (supported through the aligned Advanced Nuclear Fund)
energy storage and flexibility
bioenergy
hydrogen
homes
direct air capture and greenhouse gas removal (
GGR
)
advanced carbon capture, usage and storage (
CCUS
)
industrial fuel switching
disruptive technologies
The Net Zero Innovation Portfolio succeeded the
which ran from 2015 to 2021. 25 May 2023

To support the development and demonstration of state of the art technologies and products in the future offshore wind industry. BEIS
joined the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult’s Floating Offshore Wind Centre of Excellence. BEIS
provided the Centre with £2 million over 4 years, strengthening the Centre’s mission to further accelerate innovation in the UK’s floating wind sector. This puts us in a prime position to capitalise on a growing export market as other countries look to use this technology. £4.7 million awarded to Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult and the National Composites Centre to incorporate radical, new composite-based components in the next generation of offshore wind turbines. , ORE Catapult press release 19 October 2023
