We bring a new perspective on how nuclear technology can deliver positive outcomes for the world and apply extensive nuclear sector and wider energy sector to be a catalyst for the energy transition.

Our consulting activities are focused on providing best-in-class service to our customers in both the nuclear industry and wider energy sectors.

Eq.flight is our solution to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at scale from nuclear energy and is a key focus of our project development efforts, working with collaborators from across the value chain.

Achieving our goals includes a significant effort in advocating for nuclear solutions, ensuring policy enables rather than blocks development and working with government and across the energy sector to enable national goals to be secured including creating new jobs, mitigating climate change and better enabling the UK to grow green industrial output.
