Programme background

The Net Zero Innovation Portfolio

The Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP) is a £1 billion fund, announced in the Ten Point Plan for a green industrial revolution, to accelerate the commercialisation of low-carbon technologies, systems and business models in power, buildings, and industry. The Net Zero Innovation Portfolio provides funding for low-carbon technologies and systems. Decreasing the costs of decarbonisation, the Portfolio will help enable the UK to end its contribution to climate change.
