Shell will fork out £350,000 this year to support pioneering UK companies which develop low carbon technology.
The Shell Springboard scheme will hand £150,000 to a national champion and £40,000 each to five regional winners.
The victors will also get advice from academics, investors and policy makers, as well as access to Shell exhibitions and workshops.
The application period closes on October 28 and the winners will be announced in spring 2017.
The initiative has paid out more than £3.5million to 92 enterprises since its launch in 2005.
Shell posted revenues of $265million in 2015.
Shell said almost 80% of those companies remained in operation five years after starting-up.
Shell UK country chairwoman Sinead Lynch said: “The UK has tremendous potential to lead low-carbon innovation. In fact, our research with Imperial College London shows that UK universities are some of the strongest globally in spinning out low-carbon start-ups.
“I am proud of the role that Shell Springboard plays in helping these start-ups to grow and in supporting the UK’s green economy. I look forward to what promises to be another inspiring year in low-carbon innovation.”
Professor Chris Rayner, founder of C-Capture and a former Shell Springboard funding winner, said: “Winning Shell Springboard provided a huge morale boost to the C-Capture team. The award helped enhance our profile and credibility as we move through to full commercialisation of our technology.”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
