About Us
Incorporated in 2019, UK-based SME AirPlus Renewables Limited is a disruptive start-up with an aim to revolutionise power generation and enable the drive to NetZero. Our patentable innovation is a totally revolutionary concept and design of wind turbines that will take the technology from large-scale, unsightly wind farms that are currently operational, to a solution that can be widely deployed globally within existing urban infrastructure and harness energy from previously inaccessible sources (traffic airflow, urban building environments) at/near point of use.
The escalating global environmental crisis has put clean energy as an ever-increasing priority for businesses, consumers, and Governments. With a projected 50% energy use increase by 2050, deployment needs to be rapid and streamlined to ensure clean, efficient energy. Existing solutions focus on large-scale solutions, simply miniaturising their formats without redesigning the blades of overall structure, and their orientations only facilitate running a single generator, therefore limiting energy production.
Through this Industrial Research project, AirPlus will develop working prototypes of a globally disruptive, rapidly scalable, horizontal wind turbine, scaling up from our proof-of-concept design and testing in representative environments.
