Current projects

Phase 3

Up to £3.6 millions have been awarded to 8 projects as part of the IEEA Phase 3. The IEEA contributions range from £180k to £910k per project, typically providing around 40-60% funding for each project, with the remainder to be funded by the successful projects. The projects started in Autumn 2022 and will run for up to four years.

Colas

Investigating in-situ cold road re-construction and recycling techniques for UK highways. This technique is expected to allow 100% recycling of an existing highway surface.

Futraheat

Heat recovery system for breweries using a heat pump. This innovation is expected to reduce energy consumption by 80%.

Luxus & TRC

Odour-extracting technology to allow recycling of household plastics into higher value products.

Matrix Moulding Systems

Improved way to produce extruded plastic products using ultrasonic technology at Polypipe. This project is building on a previous IEEA's project that achieved 34% energy savings.

PyroGenesys

Biomass technology looking to convert waste grain from breweries into heat, bio-oil and glucose.

Royal HaskoningDHV's

Anaerobic digestion technology to optimise wastewater sludge treatment using artificial intelligence and plant configuration. Expected energy saving in the conversion to biogas of 20%.

Stoli Chem

Looking to improve the efficiency of chemical manufacture by converting batch processes into continuous processes, with significant cost and energy savings.

4T2 Sensors

Sensor-detecting technology to optimise the cleaning of process pipework in the drinks industry. This will help reduce water and energy consumption.

Applications from Phase 4 of the IEEA are now being assessed.

Successful projects will be announced in early 2023.

The BEIS IEEA is delivered by the Carbon Trust with support from Jacobs and KTN.
