Summary sheet
Financing of research and development (R&D) activities mainly in the field of emission-control technologies and materials science.
The project concerns the promoter’s research and development operational expenditures in the UK carried out at the promoter’s existing facilities in Sonning Common, Billingham and Royston. The R&D activities will focus on environmental catalysts and technology, process catalysts and technology, fuel cells and batteries.
The project includes R&D activities that are not specifically mentioned in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU and that will be carried out in existing facilities without changing their already authorised scope. The project would therefore not require an EIA. Full environmental details will be assessed during appraisal.
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector and not having the status of a contracting entity, thus not being subject to EU rules on public procurement.
