About Us
Innovation is at the core of what we do
as a company. Founded in July 2020, Copper & Carbon (Cu&C) is an Energy Tech
StartUp based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Our ambition is to reduce
CO2 emissions worldwide by developing innovative products and
services such as cheaper electricity, affordable lighting,
carbon-neutral automotive solutions, waste reduction, and smart systems that will help us shift
towards a greener future.
These solutions will help close the gap forged
between modern human civilization and nature, re-framing our
environment and leading the next generations into a prosperous and
sustainable future.
Problem
More than 100,000 commercial wind turbines are installed worldwide
that can only generate rated power at wind speeds above 12-15m/s,
which is not the usual case with wind availability on sites
throughout the year. On average, wind speed is constant between
7-12 m/s annually.
Electrical load on the grid is
continuously rising day by day. Few of the main enablers for this
rise are Electric Vehicles, electrically powered heating and
cooking appliances at homes, world economy’s reliability on
digital data centers and our society’s use of digital and social
media etc.
With only 15% of UK’s electricity being
generated from renewable sources, we are heading towards Net Zero
with our hands tied on our back. The industry demands for a
technological shift.
Solution
At Copper & Carbon, we are currently working on 2 innovative
projects that will help achieve this technological shift.
Short Term
Project IRIS
A small but highly efficient
Vertical-Axis
Wind
Turbine
Long Term
Project CREG
A Contra Rotating Electrical Generator
for
commercial
Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines
