Zero Carbon Futures UK aims to research and develop new technologies as low carbon vehicles become a major part of the world’s transport systems. Based at Newcastle University, the company also offers project delivery, marketing, training and insight into future city technologies. It connects industry, business, government, and academia to develop projects which will prepare transport, homes, and cities around the world for the future.
Newcastle University acquired Zero Carbon Futures UK in 2020, bringing in the knowledge and experience of all their existing staff to work alongside their specialists and academics.
Now they’re growing the North East’s reputation as a hub for world-changing battery research, innovation, and pioneering development.
Originally formed in 2011 and after nine successful years working with major car companies, local authorities, industry bodies and academia, Zero Carbon Futures UK identified huge international development opportunities that would emerge from becoming part of Newcastle University.
Through research specialisms in transport, electric vehicles and sustainability, Newcastle University provide a larger platform for the company to grow. At the same time, it brings to Newcastle University a wealth of experience project managing multi-million pound projects, skills delivery, and strategy for cities such as London, Manchester and Milton Keynes.
