To be eligible your project must:

• produce TGU which meets the ISO 22241 specification for the production of DEF, or;
• produce a TGU-equivalent product that demonstrates it can be used commercially as a DEF either, as specified in compliance with ISO 22241, or as certified by OEMs for use as a DEF.
