About This Grant
Innovate UK and the Department for Transport (DfT) are investing up to £150 million to develop, deploy, and operate innovative clean maritime solutions. This specific strand focuses on funding the development and build of innovative vessel energy efficiency technology and any accompanying infrastructure upgrades. Successful projects must demonstrate their technology in a representative real-world operational environment for three years without additional funding support.
