The Birmingham Energy Innovation Centre
The Birmingham Energy Innovation Centre (BEIC) at Tyseley Energy Park, is designed to promote innovation in waste, energy, and low carbon vehicle systems. Funded by the Greater Birmingham and Solihull LEP, the BEIC supports the delivery of a greener and cleaner ecosystem for Birmingham and the West Midlands.
The BEIC focuses particularly on the work of the University of Birmingham’s Birmingham Energy Institute. The institute is a nationally recognised centre of excellence in hydrogen and fuel cells, energy storage, magnet and battery recycling and converting waste to fuels and energy. Innovations developed at the Centre are spun out into the city and region, national and international markets.
How it can help businesses
With a strong focus on transport and energy system decarbonisation, the BEIC at Tyseley Energy Park offers companies:
- Access to a variety of energy and related technologies
- Testing and validating materials and components for hydrogen and alternative fuel production or fuel cell systems, where components can be tested and evaluated within a real system environment
- Opportunities to consult with academic experts in:
- fuel cell and hydrogen production
- smart grids
- decarbonisation of heating and cooling
- recycling critical materials such as rare earth metals
- influencing and shaping regional policy to support clean growth
What’s on offer?
Birmingham University can offer the use of equipment and laboratories, as well as expertise, advice and training.
