We desperately need renewable
energy, yet we are wasting it!
Wind and solar PV are growing exponentially, which will dramatically increase curtailment. Li-ion batteries are competitive for storing 30 min to 4 hours of electricity. But this is not enough.
Only long duration energy storage allows to save this electricity and meet the complete peak demand.

Kita’s vision is to be the world’s first carbon insurer, de-risking carbon removal solutions to accelerate their ability to scale.
The climate crisis requires carbon removal solutions to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Many carbon removal solutions rely on revenue from selling carbon units on the voluntary carbon markets. However, these units lack tailored insurance products for their key risks, particularly under-delivery on pre-paid contracts.
Kita removes this “carbon delivery risk” from sellers and buyers in the market, using insurance products that guarantee the quality and delivery of carbon units and carbon removal solutions.
To decarbonise the world, we are going to have to build a lot more. This means we will need more steel and cement over the next 40 years than ever before. However, these two materials represent 15% of global emissions.

Lorefully is an AI-powered knowledge engine that captures unstructured data from fragmented silos within communities to surface the value held within.
Whether it’s technicians on a solar installation, visitors at a trade show, or educators in the field, critical knowledge is often shared informally and lost once the moment passes. Lorefully turns those fleeting interactions into structured insight—harvested, organised, and activated through a proprietary AI pipeline.
The platform connects key stakeholder groups: Communities with their OEMs. These groups often sit in silos, each holding pieces of operational wisdom, lived experience, or frontline feedback. Lorefully breaks down those barriers by drawing insights from questions asked, stories shared, and challenges encountered—at the point of use, not in hindsight.
By enabling people to learn from each other in real-time, Lorefully reduces the need to relearn what others already know. This unlocks a faster, more efficient path to action—particularly vital in high-stakes areas like the clean energy transition or complex infrastructure delivery.
Ultimately, Lorefully helps organisations accelerate progress by making institutional knowledge cumulative, not repetitive. It ensures wisdom gained today isn’t lost tomorrow, driving long-term value, resilience, and momentum.
At Grouse Fibre, we are not the first to see the value in recovering milk proteins and using them as building blocks of milk. We stand on the shoulders of researchers in the 1930’s and 1940’s who developed a milk protein fibre to replace wool. This product was called Lanital in the UK and other versions of milk casein fibre were developed in the USA and Italy.
These fibres were designed for consumer apparel and never really had the properties to be a long term success. Our approach is to lean into the characteristics of the casein fibre to target application where they have most value add. This includes horticulture but also defense, industrial and biomedical.
