The Artificial Intelligence (AI) for decarbonisation innovation programme will support the development of innovative artificial intelligence technologies for decarbonisation applications to support the transition to net zero.
The programme will also promote coordination and collaboration between AI and carbon-emitting sectors in the UK in order to maximise the economic and carbon benefits of AI solutions in solving our most critical decarbonisation challenges.
The programme will be delivered in 2 Streams.
Stream 1 seeks to establish an AI for Decarbonisation’s Virtual Centre of Excellence (ADViCE) with up to £500,000 in grant funding available. The centre will coordinate and engage with AI and decarbonisation stakeholders across relevant sectors in a fair and open way.
This will enable them to achieve key programme objectives, including fostering cross-sector collaboration and coordination, defining key decarbonisation challenges that are tractable to AI solutions, and dissemination to relevant stakeholders.
The centre should have a virtual presence to bring together stakeholders across sectors and across locations. The centre is not required to establish a physical presence, although employees and/or some events may be physically located at the site of a host organisation.
Submit the application form and supporting information for Stream 1 by 2pm on 19 January 2023.
Stream 2 seeks to support the development of innovative AI approaches that will address critical challenges in decarbonisation.
The competition will support technologies at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3 to 7 at the start of the project. The total budget is £1 million split across the following lots:
Lot 1
Using AI to enable a faster transition to renewable generation in the electricity system (budget £350,000).
Lot 2
Using AI to decarbonise UK industry by either improving energy productivity or through enabling fuel switching (budget £350,000).
Lot 3
Using AI to decrease agricultural carbon emissions through better control or process change (budget £300,000).
Submit the application form and supporting information for Stream 2 by 2pm on 19 January 2023.
