Low Carbon Devon
The Low Carbon Devon project has been linking local companies with expertise within the University to develop new products or services for the low carbon sector.
The Project – through its Devon Net Zero Innovation Fund – has provided funding of £7,500 to Devon enterprises to pay for a collaboration with a University of Plymouth researcher.

The Fund enables researchers to investigate an area of interest, working on industry-centric projects with research impact whilst driving innovation, helping projects that are imaginative, novel and creative.
As well as helping enterprises to take action on climate change, it provides these smaller enterprises with a step up, helping them to compete with larger enterprises that have the resources to undertake their own research.
There were two rounds of the Fund, taking place in October 2021 and March 2022. Applications are now closed. Read about the projects below.
The Devon Net Zero Innovation Fund is a research and innovation opportunity and has been part of the Low Carbon Devon project funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The Low Carbon Devon project has been supporting Devon-based organisations to access research, business support and engage with the University of Plymouth around the low carbon agenda.
