Park Royal Net Zero

The Park Royal Net Zero programme brings together dedicated researchers from Brunel University of London, Harper Adams University, and civic partner West London Business to transform the food and drink sector in Park Royal. Supported by a £2.6 million grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), this four-year programme aims to reduce emissions and enhance sustainability within the UK’s largest business park.

We focus on net-zero food supply systems by exploring innovations across production, manufacturing, and supply chains. Leveraging our team’s diverse expertise, we aim to address the challenges facing the food industry and drive positive change in West London.
