Advanced Electric Machines (AEM) designs and manufactures truly sustainable, high-performing electric traction motors. AEM motors are rare earth magnet-free, reducing supply chain volatility and product cost. By removing permanent magnets, our electric motors have no risk of demagnetisation, making them safer and reducing thermal management complexity and risks. No magnets also means the rotor can freewheel, improving motor efficiency and allowing the vehicle to coast when needed. This means our range of electric motors allow our customers to go faster and travel further with a lower footprint than other motor technologies. AEMs motor solutions are designed to meet the demands of all our customers’ applications, from trucks and buses to road trains and trailer-driven axles.

HT Materials Science (HTMS) is the global leader in smart heat transfer fluids for commercial and industrial heating and cooling systems. We help any business with a high heating or cooling demand to make significant energy and carbon savings – from commercial offices and data centres through to manufacturers, pharmaceutical & healthcare facilities and more. Our patented Maxwell™ product is a drop-in nanofluid additive that’s proven to enhance the heat transfer of a base fluid by more than 15%. It delivers immediate results (with no costly downtime needed), making HVAC systems instantly more efficient and sustainable. Maxwell™ can reduce a company’s energy costs by 12-15% or more and can also increase a system’s capacity. This means businesses can get more out of their existing equipment for longer, as their heating or cooling demands increase. Our technology is already being successfully used by a host of major companies across the US, EMEA and Asia, bringing them enhanced efficiencies, cost savings and lower carbon footprints as a result. At HTMS we proudly work with some of the best science and engineering minds in the world, with offices in Dublin, Lecce (Italy) and New York. R&D is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re constantly developing future technologies to help businesses reduce energy consumption and their environmental impact.

Brill Power’s Battery Intelligence Platform brings transformational advances in longevity, performance, cost and sustainability to electric vehicles and stationary energy storage. It is the ultimate end-to-end solution replacing legacy battery management systems and power conversion technology. Brill Power’s mission is to harness the potential in novel battery management systems to improve the performance and reduce the costs of ownership of stationary & motive power batteries as an enabling and sustainable technology for society. The company has been founded on world-class research pioneered at the University of Oxford and has closed a Series A round led by Legal & General Capital and Barclays Sustainable Impact Capital.

AirEx is a rapidly growing climate tech company with the mission to tackle climate change and fuel poverty. We design, develop, and manufacture smart home solutions helping householders reduce their energy bills whilst managing air quality. AirEx has developed a retrofit smart ventilation control system that regulates the airflow via air-bricks. Occupants benefit from significantly reduced energy bills, improved thermal comfort, without compromising on air quality.

Energy Dome is a company with revolutionary technology for large scale and long duration energy storage. Our proprietary technology is based on a thermodynamic process that uses CO2 to store electricity cost-effectively with unprecedented round-trip efficiencies. The simplicity of the process as well as the use of readily available off-the-shelf equipment opens the way for Energy Dome to quickly become an important player in the energy storage market. With our technology it is possible to store large quantities of energy for long periods of time anywhere without any site dependency and deliver all the typical services of utility-scale storage systems, including grid regulation services, maximizing investment returns for our customers.

Naked Energy’s purpose is to change energy for good; for the better and forever. We combine engineering, innovation and sustainability to decarbonise heat and power in the built environment, with the worlds highest energy density solar collectors. Our mission is to supply you with solar thermal and solar PVT evacuated tube collectors; decarbonising demand for heat and power globally, one rooftop, façade, or ground-mounted array at a time. We drive innovation in the solar thermal and solar PVT sector, integrating our highly efficient technology with monitoring capabilities. Our unique evacuated tube design optimises thermal and electrical outputs in two simple collectors: VirtuHOT (thermal) and VirtuPVT (photovoltaic, thermal). VirtuHOT and VirtuPVT can provide off-grid solutions, addressing high hot water and electricity demand for hotels, residential developments/ apartments, leisure centres, F&B manufacturing, and hospitals. Operating globally, we value international collaboration to achieve our vision of a world in which heat and power are no longer dependent on fossil fuels, but driven by renewable technology. As a team, we are united by our passion for mitigating the climate emergency, blending our efforts to offer a diverse solution to a diverse problem. Winner of the 2021 CIBSE Building Performance Award, for Product or Innovation in the Thermal Comfort category, our product has been recognised for its potential to support the decarbonisation of heat in the built environment. VirtuHOT has been tested by TUV Rheinland and certified to both Solar Keymark and SRCC standards.
