Invest in Creative Digital Industries with a university the Midlands
The Midlands is home to an impressive zero carbon energy cluster, with a long history of developing technologies, and pioneering new ways of generating energy for homes, businesses, schools and hospitals.
Today, one in four of all energy and low carbon jobs in England are in the Midlands. Zero carbon energy is only growing in importance, and with a strong national cluster, the Midlands universities are playing a critical role in establishing the UK as a leader in decarbonisation and addressing a global challenge.

Supergen Bioenergy Hub at Aston University
The Bioenergy Hub will increase biomass production in the UK by accelerating current generation technologies and developing new ones. Working with the Hub gives businesses access to funding, partners like Uniper and the Department for Transport, and insight to developments across the bioenergy sector.
Tyseley Energy Park and the University of Birmingham
Tyseley Energy Park is working with the University of Birmingham and partners to create an energy and waste nexus for the city of Birmingham. Together, they will shape the way the City of Birmingham develops infrastructure for renewable heat and power, energy storage, clean transport fuels in combination with advanced waste processing, an opportunity to put innovative businesses and technologies into action.
UK Battery Industrialisation Centre
The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC), located in Coventry, is the national battery manufacturing scale-up facility. UKBIC is a £130 million, 20,000m2 pioneering facility, which provides the missing link between battery technology at laboratory or prototype scale, through to successful mass production. UKBIC is a key part of the Faraday Battery Challenge, a UK Government programme to fast-track the development of cost-effective, high-performance, durable, safe, low-weight and recyclable batteries. It will be a critical partner for any business looking to develop and deploy new battery technologies without shouldering the capital outlay themselves.
