SBRI competition: Decarbonising concrete

Businesses can apply for a share of £3 million for solutions to accelerate decarbonising concrete

Innovate UK is funding a new Small Business Research Initiative to make the commercial adoption of lower carbon concrete happen faster. The results will enable engagement between innovation projects and end users.

This may be delivered by producing outcomes that increase the potential for future end users to make Advance Market Commitments (AMC) to buy the product on a commercial basis.

Your project must demonstrate how innovations will decarbonise concrete production and do one or both of the following:

• address technical uncertainties in the formulation and use of innovative concrete, this can include production and the supply chain
• address technical uncertainties in innovations within the production, supply chain and use of commercially available concretes

In this competition, innovative concretes are defined as types of concrete that are not fully commercially adopted due to technical uncertainties in their production, supply chain or use.

Projects can range in size up to total costs of £500,000, inclusive of VAT.
