Strategic Development
Strategic Projects
We are currently welcoming new or updated submissions to our Strategic Projects Pipeline.
The Hub maintains a pipeline of strategic project proposals which can be brought forward for funding or resource allocation when available and support delivery of one or more of our four strategic priorities:
Heat Decarbonisation
Renewable Energy Technologies
Natural Carbon Sequestration
Circular Economy
Projects should be strategic in nature with a focus on investigating, scoping, informing, demonstrating, evaluating, and developing insights to inform net zero strategy. Projects may also include proposals for workstreams and supporting activity delivered under the Hub umbrella. For capital delivery funding please see the Hub’s Energy Project Enabling Fund Programme (EPEF)
The Strategic Projects Pipeline is an opportunity to inform and shape the Hub’s delivery. It provides an overview of Net Zero opportunities and stakeholder priorities across the North East and Yorkshire that we might not have thought of, and which have potential for wider benefits.
The pipeline is appraised bi-annually – providing an opportunity for new projects to be put forward for consideration and existing projects to be updated.
It is expected that Projects seeking funding are likely to require in the region of £20,000 – £100,000, although those with funding amounts at the higher end will need to include match funding. Projects with funding requests outside of these parameters may be considered by exception only.
