🌟 Exciting milestones from tepeo: a pioneering company in our Clean Growth Fund portfolio revolutionising home heating. They manufacture the ZEB (Zero Emission Boiler), a low-cost, zero-emission battery alternative to traditional boilers, particularly useful for properties not suitable for heat pumps. Here are some of their recent achievements, we're pleased to see so much support from both industry and government… 🏛️ In August, Wokingham’s new MP, Clive Jones, visited the tepeo offices, recognising their groundbreaking work in sustainable energy and the rapid growth of their ZEB technology in advancing the UK’s clean energy agenda https://lnkd.in/e_q-4tEB 🏆 In June, tepeo won the prestigious Ashden Award for Outstanding Climate Innovation, acknowledging the ZEB as a game-changer in the fight against climate change https://lnkd.in/epCQiscB 🏭 In March, Lord Callanan, Former Minister for Energy Efficiency and Green Finance opened tepeo’s second facility. This expansion has tripled tepeo’s production capacity, accelerating their mission to decarbonise home heating. https://lnkd.in/e_G6kCar 🏅 tepeo has been named a finalist in several prestigious 2024 awards including the edie Awards, Utility Week Flex Awards, Energy Awards, and @British Renewable Energy Awards 📰 tepeo is working jointly with industry including OVO, Centrica, Energy Saving Trust, EON etc in lobbying government to include heat batteries in VAT relief. This received extensive coverage including https://lnkd.in/eeZ97YpQ 📈The results of the Neat Heat trial, in conjunction with OVO and UK Power Networks, are in! This involved installing the ZEB into 30 homes over an 18 month period and showed 95 percent of yearly heating demand could be moved outside of peak hours. Compared to gas boilers, homes can be efficiently heated whilst saving an additional ~15,600 kgCO2e https://lnkd.in/enwhs8x3 tepeo’s journey is a testament to the power of innovation in driving clean growth. We are excited to support their continued success as they lead the charge toward a sustainable future 🌟 #ClimateSolutions #cleanenergy #cleantech #homeheating

Great to catch our portfolio company, Arda Biomaterials, at the showing of their collaboration with London's Beavertown Brewery. Together, they transformed Beavertown’s spent grain into stylish cardholders adorning the brewer's iconic skull and bones designs. Transforming waste from beer into a leather-alternative material is entirely animal and plastic-free, saves 97% CO2eq (compared to cow leather) and will be suitable for applications in fashion, home goods, automotive, and various other industries! #sustainablematerials #materialsofthefuture
