Teesside’s Role in the Future of Green Tech – Nexergy’s Incubator Site

Nexergy’s Phased Expansion

Nexergy Holdings PLC’s new presence at the Materials Processing Institute (MPI) marks the start of a wider commitment to developing sustainable energy solutions in Teesside. The incubator site will play a vital role in Nexergy’s phased expansion, helping to de-risk its technology, refine product quality, and ensure operational excellence before scaling up to larger production facilities.

Teesside’s rich industrial expertise, world-class infrastructure, and focus on net-zero innovation make it the perfect location for Nexergy’s first UK site.

Opportunity to Build a Highly Capable Workforce

The region’s emphasis on skills development in emerging clean technologies also provides an opportunity to build a highly capable workforce for the future.

Terry Walsh, CEO at MPI added: “We work with industries to develop and scale up technologies and industrial processes. Nexergy will have immediate access to our expertise and facilities to support this programme to develop its sustainable solutions capability.”

“Teesside is an excellent environment…”

“With its strong industrial base and ambitious sustainability goals, Teesside is an excellent environment for scaling next-generation technologies,” said Jason Turner MD. “We’re proud to be contributing to its evolution as a centre for green industry.”’

As Nexergy continues its work at MPI, it will engage with local stakeholders, industry partners, and policymakers to ensure that the project supports regional economic growth and advances the UK’s broader environmental objectives.

Facts about MPI

Founded in 1944 as the British Iron & Steel Research Association (B.I.S.R.A.), as the central research organisation for the iron and steel industry in the UK.

 

– The Materials Processing Institute is a not-for-profit research and innovation centre with a 75-year track record in developing new materials, processes and technologies.

– The Institute is a globally recognised centre for the innovation, development and commercialisation of technology for advanced materials, industrial decarbonisation and the circular economy.

– The Institute’s SME Technology Centre identifies and engages with SMEs to support the development and commercialisation of innovations and technology. The SME Technology Centre includes on-site pilot plant, scale up and demonstrator facilities, enabling businesses to test, develop and demonstrate new technologies without the risks associated with full scale production.

– Institute has remained committed to the delivery of world class research into industrial processes and crucially, applying this knowledge successfully in the industrial environment.

– Many advanced processes which are now standard across industry were first developed at the Institute. This tradition continues with the development and commercialisation of ground-breaking new technologies in materials, processing and energy.

– The Institutes also works in partnership with universities and other research centres, providing doctoral training for PHD students and developing and progressing collaborative research opportunities to yield enhanced outcomes.

Vision:

The vision of the Institute is to be the globally recognised centre for the innovation, development and commercialisation of technology for the challenges of:
