The Supergen Energy Storage Network+ programme is an integrated, forward-looking platform that supports, nurtures the expertise of the energy storage community, disseminating it through academia, industry, and policy, at a particularly important time when decisions on future funding and research strategy are still being resolved.

The Supergen Network+ is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and has a core partnership of 19 investigators from 12 UK institutions, all focused on the wider advancement, exchange and dissemination of energy storage expertise. A further 100 organisations from the UK and abroad have pledged their support for the network.

EDF R&D UK deliver research and innovation to our internal business units, policymakers, partners and customers in order to help Britain achieve net zero. 

Established in 2012, EDF UK R&D combine advances in science and engineering with new digital innovations. The team provide support to all business units and subsidiaries of EDF in the UK. Our researchers are driven by two goals: improving performance in all EDF UK current activities; and preparing for the future by exploring breakthrough technologies or business opportunities. Teams include Nuclear, Renewables, Digital Innovation, Future Energy Systems, and Innovation. 

UK-HyRES will drive forward the national effort in hydrogen research that is needed to facilitate this critical area of technology to meet industry and government needs.

The team will coordinate a national, interdisciplinary programme of research to ensure a pipeline of projects that can deliver practical hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels technologies that are safe and environmentally, economically and socially sustainable, de-coupling fossil fuels from our energy system and delivering greener energy.

The project is led by Professor Tim Mays, University of Bath, co-directed by Professor Rachael Rothman, The University of Sheffield, and Professor Shanwen Tao, University of Warwick. Partner universities include University College London, University of Portsmouth, St Andrews University and University of Surrey.

The Faraday Institution is the UK’s flagship battery research programme. It brings together research scientists and industry partners on substantial and impactful research projects, in areas of fundamental science and engineering that have commercial relevance and potential. Technical targets include reducing battery cost, weight, and volume; improving performance and reliability; and developing whole-life strategies including recycling and reuse.

The institution's research programme is defined by industry need and delivered by a consortia of 27 UK universities and 50 businesses – including 500 researchers. Headquartered at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, the Faraday Institution is a registered charity with an independent board of trustees. 

The Henry Royce Institute is the front door to the UK materials research and innovation community open to academia, industry and the public. Their research tackles some of the most pressing challenges facing today’s society, from providing energy for future cities to decarbonisation and new recyclable materials. Whether you are a researcher, a large company, or an SME, they can help to meet your materials needs. 

Funded by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council, Royce coordinates over £200 million of facilities. Operating with its Hub at The University of Manchester, Royce is a Partnership of nine leading institutions – the universities of Cambridge, Imperial College London, Liverpool, Leeds, Oxford, Sheffield, the National Nuclear Laboratory, and UKAEA. 

Nature Reviews Clean Technology is a new journal which launched in January 2025 that publishes reviews, perspectives, and opinion articles on the research, development, and implementation of clean technologies and processes. Focusing on the challenges of a sustainable transition and the technologies to address them, the journal will span fields and cover solutions that connect science, technology, economics, and policy. 

By bringing together work from researchers in the academic and private sectors, we will cover a range of topics that includes: Batteries, Biofuels, Carbon Capture, Economics, Energy Storage & Networks, Hydrogen, Policy, Renewable Energy, Solar, Transportation, and Waste Management. 

The British Geological Survey is a world-leading geological survey and global geoscience organisation, focused on public-good science for government and research to understand earth and environmental processes.

They are the UK’s premier provider of objective and authoritative geoscientific data, information and knowledge to help society to use its natural resources responsibly, manage environmental change and be resilient to environmental hazards.
