Green Industries Growth Accelerator (GIGA)
Closing Date: –
A fund to support the expansion of strong and sustainable clean energy supply chains across the UK.
The Green Industries Growth Accelerator (GIGA) is a £1.1 billion fund to support the expansion of strong and sustainable clean energy supply chains across the UK, including:
- Carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS)
- Engineered greenhouse gas removals (GGRs) and hydrogen
- Offshore wind and electricity networks
- Civil nuclear
GIGA will seek to maximise the economic opportunity of the net zero transition for the UK, target support at key strategic elements of the supply chain and sustain quality jobs across the UK.
The objectives of the GIGA hydrogen and CCUS supply chain fund are two-fold:
- To kickstart the manufacturing of components necessary to overcome supply chain constraints and deliver deployment ambitions for the hydrogen and CCUS sectors.
- To leverage private investment into hydrogen and CCUS (including CCUS-enabled GGR) supply chains to maximise economic opportunities for the UK.
The programme is part of a wider £4.5 billion package of funding for manufacturing to support private sector investment in strategic sectors across the UK.
