The funding will support Protium s expanded projects and pipeline, which enables UK businesses to accelerate their net zero goals specifically through the decarbonization of mobility, thermal and electrical demand. Following a series of major recent developments in Protium s growth, the company s technical acumen is increasingly sought after across the UK. Numerous businesses in the aviation, horticultural, alcoholic manufacturing, and food and beverage space have turned to the London-based team to assist them with their sustainability targets in recent months. With the UK s growing focus on decarbonization (following a variety of fiscal support schemes injected by the Government) this funding represents a pivotal step forward not only for Protium but for the nation s green economy.

Vauxhall has just released the first pictures of the all-new Combo-e, a fully-electric variant of its award-winning Combo van, which has a range of up to 171 miles from a single charge, aimed at business and private users seeking a zero emissions van. Image courtesy of Vauxhall
The Combo-e features a 100kW (136hp) electric motor and 50kW battery and supports up to 100kW rapid charging with an 80 percent charge completed in 30 minutes. Longer, L2H1 variants of the Combo-e feature a maximum load volume of 4.4m³ and a maximum load length of up to 3,440mm.
The 50kWh lithium-ion battery is made up of 216 cells and 18 modules and has been placed under the floor between the front and rear axle. This gives the vehicle a low centre of gravity, which improves its cornering and stability even when fully loaded.

Part funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, the SATE (Sustainable Aviation Test Environment) project will create the UK s first operationally-based, low-carbon aviation test centre at HIAL’s Kirkwall Airport in the Orkney Islands.
It will operate for an 18-month period and has been launched as part of UKRI’s Future Flight Challenge, which supports the development of greener ways to fly. The programme will test different types of low-carbon aircraft to identify the next generation of air services, as well as the operational airport infrastructure necessary to support sustainable aviation.
