The New Technologies Demonstrator Programme is a scheme part of Defra's Waste Implementation Programme, New Technologies Workstream, to demonstrate advanced solid waste processing technologies in England. A pot of £30million was allocated to fund 10 demonstrator projects with the project being headed by Dave Brooks at Defra. The scheme is not on schedule for the ambitious targets that were initially set out by Defra, however 9 projects out of the initial 10 are now projected to be operational by April 2009, over 2 years behind schedule. ==The scheme== The scheme initially was allocated £32 million, of which £2 million was to help fund research and development into waste technology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 DEFRA reveals plans for £32m new technology programme ) 〕 The scheme for the distribution of the main £30 million pot commenced in 2004 and was originally split into two rounds: 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 New Technologies Demonstrator Programme: Assessment Criteria )(【引用サイトリンク】 Defra opens second round of £30m new technologies fund )〕 *ROUND 1: 5 demonstrator projects in operation by 31 December 2005 *ROUND 2: 5 demonstrator projects in operation by 31 December 2006 Their project had a huge response for the first round, with 71 pre-qualification questionnaire submissions being filed from interested parties. The quality of some of the initial bids were criticised by Martin Brockelhurst, Head of Waste Strategy, at the Environment Agency who remarked some of the applications were poor and came from a "young industry".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Agency comments on bidders in Defra's new technologies fund ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Technologies Demonstrator Programme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
