What is moving now
Key technology areas
The transition to net zero is underway. We track the technologies moving from research into real-world deployment, with clear signals for operators, policymakers and investors.
Deploying
Battery technology
Energy storage can protect operations from price swings and support more renewable electricity on the grid.
Follow battery news
System-ready
Grid flexibility
Demand response, smart charging and flexible assets help businesses match consumption to available power.

Early deployment
Green hydrogen
Electrolysers are finding a role in industry and heavy transport where direct electrification is difficult.
Track hydrogen projects
Sector-specific
Low-carbon fuels
Sustainable fuels are being tested for aviation, shipping and industrial heat. Cost and supply remain decisive.
Review fuel developments
Pilot stage
Carbon capture
Pilot projects show where capture can reduce industrial emissions, and where measurement must improve before scale.

Growing market
Circular economy
New materials, repair models and better recovery systems keep value in products for longer.
Explore circular systemsEvidence from the field
Real-world deployment examples
Commercial decisions improve when project results are visible. These examples focus on measurable changes in cost, capacity and material use.
Energy storage
A battery built around demand
A manufacturing site paired a battery system with on-site generation and shifted high-load activity away from peak tariffs.
50% reduction in peak energy costs
Green hydrogen
Testing fuel for heavy industry
An electrolyser project is supplying a controlled industrial process while operators measure water use, uptime and fuel quality.
18-month operating study
Circular economy
Packaging designed for return
A young company replaced single-use transport packaging with a return system that tracks each container through its working life.
4.2 reuse cycles per unit
"We stopped treating storage as a backup purchase. The numbers showed us where it could change daily operations."
The conditions for scale
UK policy driving adoption
Capital follows clarity. We explain how grants, regulation and carbon pricing affect the business case for climate technology.
Explore funding and spinoutsIndustrial support
Track grant rounds, eligibility rules and reporting duties before a project reaches procurement.
Carbon pricing
See how emissions costs alter payback periods for heat, power and carbon capture investments.
Planning and permits
Understand the approvals that can shape delivery dates for storage, generation and hydrogen sites.
Public procurement
Follow standards and purchasing signals that create demand for lower-carbon products.
Materials that keep value
Building a circular economy
Circular design starts before a product is made. Reduce material use, keep products in service, recover what remains, then regenerate the systems behind production.
