Aligned with the goals of the UK Food Strategy which underscores the imperative for academic institutions to collaborate with food manufacturers and the EPSRC’s Place Based Impact Acceleration objectives, this project is a resounding response to the challenges at hand.
Our aim is to reduce carbon emissions and cost, improve resilience and drive economic growth in food supply systems passing through Park Royal.
We are dedicated to pioneering energy systems that operate at net-zero emissions, leveraging renewable energy sources and innovative technologies to minimise environmental impact.
We are committed to minimising waste throughout the food supply chain and maximizing the value of by-products through innovative valorisation strategies, contributing to a circular economy.
Embracing digitalisation and automation technologies to optimize food manufacturing processes, improve efficiency, and reduce resource consumption.
Promoting practices and technologies that enable low carbon food production, including sustainable farming methods, vertical farming, and urban agriculture initiatives.
Woking towards reducing carbon emissions associated with transportation in the food supply chain, exploring sustainable transport solutions and promoting alternative fuels and modes of transportation.
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has awarded Brunel University of London a £2.6 million Place-Based Impact Acceleration Account (PBIAA) to lead the Park Royal Net Zero programme from February 2024 to January 2028.
In partnership with Harper Adams University and West London Business, this initiative supports food and drink businesses in Park Royal Industrial Estate, West London, helping them transition towards net-zero food supply systems through innovation, research, and industry collaboration.
We are keen to collaborate with food and drink businesses in Park Royal to develop solutions that help achieve your net-zero goals.
