DfT launches £300k competition for concepts to mitigate NOx emissions

Thu 23 October 2014 View all news

The Department for Transport (DfT) is inviting entries to a competition seeking concepts to help mitigate NOx emissions from road traffic, offering a total of about £300,000 to fully-fund projects designed to address air quality on the strategic road network.

The Air Quality - NOx mitigation competition focuses on improving air quality in localised areas, seeking solutions to mitigate NOX ‘post tail pipe’ in particular.

The competition is designed to provide ‘proof of concept’ for effectively mitigating NOX. The Department will 100% fund four to six projects, budgeted at £25,000 to £50,000 each, addressing one of the three different challenges in relation to NOX air quality.

Entries (see below) must be completed 5pm on 20 November 2014. Projects should be capable of being started by December 2014 and a final report is required to be delivered by May 2015.

Two webinars are being held to allow interested parties to ask questions about the competition on 3 November and 6 November.
