The Harwell EnergyTec Cluster Vision: To develop innovative new technologies to meet national and global energy challenges, enabled by bringing together world-leading capabilities and skills. Target : 100 organisations employing 1,000 specialists by 2028 • Considerable heritage UK’s nuclear research centre since 1946 GLEEP test reactor first to successfully generate nuclear energy in Europe (1947) World’s first experimental ‘fast’ reactor, Zephyr (1954) • Harwell facilities such as Diamond, ISIS and Catalysis hub at the Research Complex are used extensively for energy-related research e.g. 13% of the research done on ISIS is energy related • UKERC Energy Data Centre - a key part of the Energy Systems Catapult’s new Energy Knowledge Exchange • Topics include: battery technology, energy production, energy storage, energy conversion, energy efficiency and catalysis • Harwell’s energy community and collaborations extend to over 30 universities plus Toyota, Johnson Matthey, Siemens, Merck, Ceres et al. • Faraday Institution HQ is located at Harwell UK’s independent center for electrochemical energy storage science and technology, supporting research, training, and analysis. harwellcampus.com
Current Phase of Development Next 5 Years Establish a ‘Living Laboratory’, to address future energy, heat and transport requirements in a rapidly expanding mixed use location A facility for innovators to evaluate and implement new innovative energy solutions in ‘real life’ scenarios, with accurate and qualified results which can be used to build a sustainable business model for transfer to multiple facilities and locations Opportunity to shape and develop new initiatives in the context of the Local Industrial Strategy Next 24 months Prepare Planning Application for 750,000 square feet at Western end of Fermi Avenue Enable Rosalind Franklin & National Satellite Test Facility (both STFC build projects) Secure Local Plan allocation for new homes & submit Planning Application for Phase 1 harwellcampus.com
