Natural assets like the wind, critical minerals and heat lie at the heart of the journey to net-zero and the Green Industrial Revolution policies – which include offshore wind, the shift to zero-emission vehicles, greener buildings, sequestrating carbon and protecting our natural environment.

The South West Natural Powerhouse (SWNP) is a movement that aims to connect natural capital assets – our resources – with the South-West’s ambition for clean growth. The SWNP is an independent consortium formed from industry, academia and local government that works in collaboration to facilitate clean growth in the South West. The consortium fosters responsible stewardship of our natural resources, whilst promoting sustainable and accelerated development of the blue and green economies.

, a Â鶹´«Ã½ spinout, continues at pace toward full-scale production of its solar micro-inverter, which has the potential to supply up to five per cent more energy to the grid than current market leaders. The PulsiV team are working with Bosch UK to optimise the design to further maximize the returns from the clean energy it harvests.

Dr Zaki Ahmed’s pioneering power technology can be applied to commercial solar farms through to household electrical appliances such as televisions, mobile phones and laptops; with potential for a wide range of further industrial applications. Additionally, PulsiV are working on new technology for LED lighting to reduce energy storage requirements.
