The funding, a total of £10 million, is to be allocated over a three year period, beginning with the first call opening on December 15th with a fund of £5 million. This initial allocation will consist of two stages – outline applications (pre-qualification), followed by full applications. The criteria against which application will be considered include contribution to the target of 373,000 tonnes by 2006 and commercial viability following conclusion of funding.
