ATI Non-CO2 Programme

ATI Non-CO2 Programme is the Aerospace Technology Institute's civil aerospace route for research that reduces non-CO2 aviation emissions in the UK. It sits alongside the Strategic and SME streams but is anchored to the Non-CO2 Technologies roadmap rather than the broader Destination Zero plan. UK-registered organisations and consortia can apply, and the stream is active within the wider ATI programme extension to 2030. Awards can reach £18m, with a 2.5% industrial contribution requirement and the same two-stage application flow used by the Strategic Programme. The route is open to businesses, universities, and research organisations working on contrails, NOx, water vapour, and related effects. The structure mirrors the broader ATI model: outline first, then a full application through Innovate UK's Innovation Funding Service. The strongest proposals tie a specific emissions problem to a credible research plan and a case for why ATI support is needed at this stage. The stream is best for teams that already understand aviation systems, can satisfy the industrial contribution rule, and can show a pathway from research into sector impact. It rewards technical seriousness and a clear line of sight to deployment.
