The United Kingdom allocated £30 million for decarbonisation initiatives in the maritime sector in the latest round of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition.
The sixth round of funding brings the total invested through the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition (CMDC) to £159 million. The £30 million funding comes from the latest round of the competition, launched on 16 January 2025. CMDC is designed to support clean maritime technologies including electric, hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, wind power and more.
This new £30 million investment is part of our Plan for Change – growing the economy and making Britain a clean energy superpower.
…said Mike Kane, UK Maritime Minister.
Previous rounds of the competition have seen funding delivered to over 300 organisations, bringing in more than £100 million of private investment across the UK.
Successful projects have included the installation of Britain’s first electric chargepoint network across ports in the South West, the largest ever retrofit of a hydrogen research vessel in Wales and the installation of carbon capture system on a vessel.
