The Community Energy Demonstrator is located on the Trent Basin, in Nottingham. The Trent Basin development is the UK’s first innovative local community energy business model underpinning 450 new build homes and a future school. A local community energy system pools renewable energy generated by individual households. After storing this in a community battery it is then either used locally or, when the price is favourable, sold to the grid. A community scale delivers more efficient use of...

CPI acts as a catalyst bringing together academia, businesses, government and investors to translate bright ideas and research into the marketplace. We do this by connecting our customers with the right experts, equipment, facilities, networks, funding and more – joining the dots for effective innovation.

JASMIN is a globally-unique data analysis facility. It provides storage and compute facilities to enable data-intensive environmental science. Over 1600 users are currently supported, exploring topics ranging from climate change and oceanography to air pollution, earthquake deformation and analysis of wildlife populations.

Centred more around storage and data analysis than a "traditional" supercomputer, JASMIN provides flexibility for a wide range of data-intensive analysis workflows. Several...

What it does: we are the national lead on aerial investigation and mapping and set the standards for the professional, academic and volunteer sectors. We undertake, manage and provide expert advice on programmes of aerial reconnaissance and air photo interpretation in order to discover, record, characterise and monitor archaeological sites, historic buildings, and landscapes. We use sources including historic and modern aerial photographs, satellite imagery and airborne laser scanning data...

The Hydrogen Systems Test Bed is a flexible test facility for developing different hydrogen components relating to generation, storage and use. The facility also includes a 1MWh hydrogen store that enables testing to systems up to 100 kW in scale. The facilities are developing novel materials such as a low cost AB2 metal hydride alloy which have a very high energy density  (1 kWh/L) – cf. Li-ion batteries. Metal hydride storage enables compact storage of hydrogen at low pressures (<10 bar).

The Marine Energy Engineering Centre of Excellence (MEECE) is a multi-million-pound collaboration between ORE Catapult and Welsh universities, funded by the Welsh European Funding Office. Based at Pembroke Dock, the Centre will deliver research, development and demonstration activities to support innovation in the Welsh supply chain, accelerating the commercialisation of the wave, tidal and offshore wind sectors by reducing cost of energy.

The purpose of the MEECE collaboration is to...

The British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) is the UK’s National Oceanographic Data Centre (NODC) and forms part of the Natural Environment Research Council’s (NERC) Environmental Data Service (EDS) - https://nerc.ukri.org/research/sites/environmental-data-service-eds/

We provide open access to over 100,000 datasets while managing and delivering in excess of 450 different oceanographic variables. BODC provides the user community with a centralised data ingestion-discovery-delivery service...

The UK Catalysis Hub was created in 2013 with EPSRC funding with the aim to establish a world-leading, comprehensive and coordinated programme of catalytic science in the UK; to develop new knowledge and promote innovation in and translation of catalytic science and technology, and to enable the UK to regain and retain its world-leading position in catalysis. 

The physical hub is in the Research Complex at Harwell, (RCaH) and includes first-class facilities for research in catalytic science,...
