UNLOCKING NEW FRONTIERS OF INNOVATION

Net Zero R&D Programme

Our Net Zero R&D Programme invests in industry–led, academically delivered endto-end net zero projects to accelerate technology development through funded collaboration with Scottish Universities.

Financed by The Scottish Government, The Scottish Funding Council and Scottish Enterprise, the programme supports early TRL projects that benefit from the universities’ resources and experience, paired with practical know-how through industry connections to help strengthen investment, ensure relevance, and deliver impact.

Since 2020 we have supported a portfolio of 21 innovative technologies, where we believe academic partnership is critical to accelerating the development and deployment of these novel clean technologies across the following themes:
