This webinar is designed for businesses interested in applying to the Diesel-Free Sites Adoption Support Programme.

The programme will support established UK SMEs and solution providers to demonstrate proven diesel-free construction technologies within a realistic operational environment, working alongside Connected Places Catapult, Costain, Anglian Water and the Strategic Pipeline Alliance.

During the webinar, we will provide an overview of the programme, the diesel-free construction challenge, the opportunity at Carter’s Yard and the application and assessment process. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear directly from programme partners and ask questions.

The webinar will cover:

• The programme offer and available support
• Eligibility and technical-readiness requirements
• The diesel-free construction challenge areas
• The Carter’s Yard trial environment and partner context
• What a strong application should include
• Trial planning, evidence generation and expected outcomes
• The application, scoring and assessment process
• Key dates and next steps
• A live Q&A with the programme team and partners

Who should attend:

This webinar is for UK-registered SMEs and solution providers developing technologies that can support the transition away from diesel-powered construction sites.

We are particularly interested in businesses with mature, scalable solutions that:

• Are at TRL 7 or above
• Have already been demonstrated in an operational environment
• Can provide evidence of previous deployment
• Have the capacity to work collaboratively with industry partners
• Can show a credible route towards wider adoption

Applicants do not need to address every challenge area.

Businesses with a strong solution to one part of the wider diesel-free sites challenge are encouraged to apply, and may submit separate applications for multiple challenge areas where relevant.
