Update: 13 September 2023

We have published the list of successful projects for Phase 2 of the Red Diesel Replacement competition.

The £40 million Red Diesel Replacement competition aims to support the development and demonstration of low carbon fuel and system alternatives to red diesel for the construction, and mining and quarrying sectors.

The competition supports the decarbonisation of these high-impact sectors that will be affected by the partial removal of the entitlement to use red diesel and rebated fuels from April 2022.

It was delivered in 2 phases.

Phase 2 opened in January 2023 and closed to applications on 30 March 2023. A total of £32.5 million was available in grant funding for Phase 2, with up to £12 million per project.

Phase 2: eligibility

Projects had to demonstrate a low carbon integrated system that includes multiple component technologies from fuel generation/production, distribution, storage and delivery, and end-use on a construction and mining/quarrying site.

Projects had to demonstrate that the system is at TRL 7 upon completion.

Background

The competition is part of the Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP).
