The projects were each given a share of the Department for Transport’s Advanced Fuels Fund. The full fund total stood at £135 million before the latest funding round.
Funding is targeted at companies looking to convert waste materials and by-products – such as household waste – into fuels. Winning projects spanned across the country from the Orkney Islands to the north of England and south Wales.
As a result of the funding, the DfT expects up to 10,000 jobs to be created by 2035 and the economy to receive a £1.8 billion boost every year.
