We solve the energy trilemma by providing a solar solution, to help SMEs in Nigeria accomplish
business growth through a technological reliable and economically viable solution of a portable
solar charging kit.
We are looking for partners in investment, supply chain, and back-end software development.
We have widespread experience across Africa and a
passion for proving the economic, health, climate,
social and economic impacts of our renewable
energy solution.
We are an SME incorporated in the UK with a
regional office in Nigera.
Experience
- Our executive team have a combined experience of over 50 years in start-up, technology, business
knowledge, philanthropy, and works in developing economies
- Over half of the team have experience in working in Africa and all have worked in other
developing countries.
- We have conducted two rounds of both quantitative and qualitive market research in the target
market of Nigeria. Where we have engaged over 500 MSMEs to confirm the need and establish
our case for opportunity.
- Feedback indicated a 100% interest in a solar energy solution to solve the problem.
- Specific business types and power capacity requirements were established
We will be the lead coordinator on this project and
welcome other partners who are willing and
passionate to support our cause.

Proposed Approach
We are looking to support innovative projects that will help drive down the cost of energy for
offshore wind and facilitate next generation floating wind farm developments.
We are looking for projects addressing subtopic 2: Demonstration of innovative technologies to
enable future large scale deployment of offshore renewable energy. We are looking to engage in
projects looking at both innovative wind turbines (also wave & tidal) and grid infrastructure.
We are looking for partners developing consortia with clear demonstration plans. ORE Catapult
have strong research teams working on electrical infrastructures, drivetrains blades and floating
wind platforms, key support areas include: grid integration, dynamic cables, power convertor
technologies / power take off, structural health monitoring, condition monitoring, blade
inspection amounts others. System
ORE Catapult is a UK based research and technology
organisation with >£250 million in test and
validation assets for offshore renewable energy
technology development.
Our mission is to accelerate the creation and
growth of UK companies in the ORE Sector.
We have centres of excellence focused on floating
offshore wind, operations and maintenance with
strong links to UK and EU research institutes.
Our expertise is in driving innovation from TRL4-
TRL7+.
Experience
ORE Catapult have been engaged in a wide range of H2020 in the offshore wind environment including:
TotalControl, Lifes50+, Demowind, LEP4BLADEs, OPTIMOR, RiaSoR. These projects cover a range of wind turbine
component and fullscale device innovation and development.
1. TotalControl. The H2020 TotalControl project will deliver continued cost reduction for offshore wind by
developing and validating advanced, integrated wind turbine and wind array control schemes, where all
essential interactions between the turbines in an array are accounted for, including both production and load
aspects
2. Lifes50+. The H2020 Lifes50+ project focusses on large floating wind turbines installed at water depths
roughly between 50m and 200m. The project will contribute to an increased scientific and industrial

LC-GD-2-1-2020 – Innovative land-based and offshore renewable energy technologies and
their integration into the energy system

Proposed Approach
Public bodies in Wales have a legal obligation to incorporate circular economy principles into their
organisations’ operations to decrease waste streams, carbon footprint and ensure that materials
are used efficiently. However, it is challenging for organisation leaders to break away from their
status quo operations without some form of intervention.
The Circular Economy Innovation Communities project (Call Area 3) seeks to provide an
intervention, through facilitated workshops, that enables public sector leaders to “map, gap and
fill” operational areas that would benefit from incorporating circular economy principles. The
programme utilises social learning theory and uses Communities of Practice to enable practitioners
to co-create new service solutions to inter-organisational challenges.
In a previous project iteration this has led to an organisation’s waste plastic being recycled on site
and replacing a virgin plastic source, saving the organisation £250k and tonnes of plastic waste.
We’re interested in working with partners to expand the CEIC project across Wales and the UK.
We have skills in facilitation of leadership training
programmes designed to effect change within an
organisation. We also have expertise in circular
economy, climate change mitigation strategies and
inter-regional development.
We are a team of academics that have experience
working with private and public sector management

Topic 6: Quadriga The Smallholder’s Agribot

Proposed Approach for Building and Renovating call
We smart-charge electric storage heating and hot water systems in the UK to align these flexible loads
with intermittent renewable energy – in both urban areas and off-gas-grid
Our communications technology includes ZigBee Mesh radio, GSM and LoRa radio to enable us to
optimise heating when renewable energy is available – also enabling such loads to participate in the
provision of flexibility services
We are looking for partners who are either:
1. In countries with an installed base of storage heaters that can be optimised with renewable energy
2. Active in alternative heating technologies (e.g. heat pumps, underfloor heating) for retrofit (or new
build), who would benefit from our developed technology for dynamic control and the provision of
flexibility services
We have been involved in several projects run by
BEIS, Energy Savings Trust and Scottish Government

Proposed Approach
As a Contract R&D Company with broad industrial experience of all aspects of catalysis we are
increasingly winning contracts in translational R&D, de-risking future investment decisions for our
customers by providing objective experimental data of the highest quality. As required, we can also
carry out a range of services from early stage catalyst discovery through to operational support.
The call targets the production of both fuel and chemicals and stresses industrial feasibility. Aligned
with this our current focus is less on the novel and more on the commercially viable. We would
seek to identify best options via generation of comparative data and then undertake further
optimisation of catalytic components.
We can provide a valuable link between laboratory and pilot scale operation, underpinned by the
ability to characterise catalysts (in-situ in many cases) and products (both purification and
analysis).
Drochaid has 10 state of the art laboratories
containing bespoke equipment for the synthesis,
characterisation and testing of catalysts
(heterogeneous, homogeneous and bio-catalysts)
As well as characterisation of functional materials,
often under working conditions/extreme
environments.
Drochaid is a contract R&D Business, with a simple
Business model and the experience, expertise and
equipment to drive a project towards
commercialisation.
Experience
Over 200 years of combined industrial experience, including current and relevant experience of
CCU, syngas conversions and catalytic functional group and carbon number manipulation as well as
product work-up.
We have built a global customer list including large multi-national energy and chemical companies
as well as innovative start-ups and SMEs.

Proposed Approach
Cement is a massive contributor to CO2 emission (8% of world’s emissions). We offer a circular
economy solution converting a waste into a concrete additive to reduce the carbon footprint for
concrete manufacture.
We will be transforming a waste which has sequestrated Carbon Dioxide from atmosphere, and
utilising this with a catalyst to replace Carbon Dioxide emitting cement. This will reduce the very
high CO2 generation released to the atmosphere, while producing high quality concrete products.
We are looking for partners in the concrete industry and waste processing to test and trial the
process.
Skills and experience with waste processing and
product development.
We are a New-co with experience in business
development, with a background in start- ups and
innovative waste product development, with strong
links with Research and development and
Academia.
Experience
We have extensive experience with developing waste and environmental projects, from the
research and development, evaluation of options and implementation of the commercial
development.
We have already had discussions with a number of funders to date, who through our presentation
realise the potential and value of this project
We will Project Manage the development , working
with collaborators/subcontractors where
appropriate and develop the commercial process.

Proposed Approach
We have an innovative solution for Power-to-X which can be utilized at source to monetize excess
energy production (i.e. when supply exceeds demand from offshore wind generation) by
dynamically balancing loads on generators.
Power-to-X can be more accurately described as Power-to-X-to-[Revenue Generated From Selling X
to Market]. Our technology shortens the value chain to simply Power-to-Revenue, completely
bypassing the intermediary process.
Ultimately, by combining our technology with our remodeled energy distribution network
(red://net™)–which is only possible when utilizing our technology–we create a ground-breaking
Power-to-Power system with round trip efficiencies of >15,000%.
We are looking for a partner who can incorporate the development of our technology from TRL5
through TRL8 into a larger project.
We are a SME, just emerging from early R&D, ready
to start progressing through TRL5. We are flexible
regarding project location and are highly adaptable.
Our technology, although cutting-edge, is relatively
simple to incorporate into a project and implement
at scale.
Experience
We are a small team who has developed a novel technology. We have completed TRL4 and,
depending on funding, can progress our technology to TRL9 in 12-24 months.

Proposed Approach
We currently face a triple pandemic of airborne infection, pollution and climate change. We need
to repair our air for us & the planet. Our patent pending technology address all three sustainably.
Our fans “repair the air” by deploying cutting edge photocatalytic technology within a ‘plug n play’
fan to kill airborne infections, instantaneously decompose pollution & reduce CO2. We do not filter
the harm out of the air to be dumped elsewhere in the biosphere, we deal with it at it’s source.
We wish to
Ø design and develop a form of our technology for area 8.
Ø deploy our fans across a cohort of houses in Europe (area 10) to understand the difference
they make to both the environment and the people who benefit from them, including any
negative unintended consequences.
We are looking to partner with design engineering, production engineering, IT/data capture
companies & a research institute/university.
We are a UK-based start up company on a mission.
We are in the process of deploying fans onto a train
in the UK in partnership with a multi-national train
manufacturer. This is to make travel safer again
after covid-19 but also to help improve air quality &
accelerate the drive to carbon neutrality.
As a start up we are humble and offer great
opportunities for deep collaborations for the long
term.
Experience
We have engaged – and are exclusive to in the transport sector – a global engineering company
with expansive resources. The associated publicity and presence will be compelling.
Quite remarkable given our first lab based prototype was developed less than 12 months ago.
We would look to be the co-ordinator, but are
willing to co-operate.

Call Subtopic 2: Demonstration of innovative technologies to enable future large scale
deployment of offshore renewable energy
Proposal concept: Offshore Floating Energy Islands.
The idea is to develop further integrated offshore energy systems to increase Energy density in
terms of MW/km^2. In this line, it could be worth to analyse the LCOE reduction and additional
benefits as power smoothing by taking advantage of additional uses of floating substructures, as
well as the sharing used of transmission power cables.
This includes the optimization of dynamic cables and substructures designs for station keeping
systems. In addition, for the transmission systems the novel concepts on DC grids (or HVDC links)
must be envisaged.
Possible coupling with P2X and specifically hydrogen solutions for energy storage and transport of
excess energy.
