Energy

With extensive experience of the materials, components, operating environments and failure mechanisms associated with power generation and energy storage equipment we are a partner you can trust. At the forefront of emergent technologies, including additive manufacturing, flash sintering of ceramics and energy storage, we go beyond supporting your materials testing needs to provide the solutions you require.

  • Driving to Net Zero

    Ceramic firing is energy intensive and there is an urgent need for solutions to help bring down emissions and reach net zero targets. A challenge for the sector is to ensure that any new processes are safe and products retain key physical and aesthetic characteristics. To support the drive to net zero we have invested in a state-of-the-art ceramics kiln that has been designed to run on a hydrogen/natural gas blend.
