- UK industrial strategy in terms of grand challenges in clean growth and future of mobility, energy supply and demand and low carbon future within the context of environmental issues needs novel and innovative energy solutions. This work is funded by Future Energy Source Ltd, totalling direct funding (£111, 415, BU Ref 7017, 7582, 8882, 7932 & 8399). This work has led to the development of nano-enhanced storage materials, storage design and a UK patent GB2540670. Effective thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of paraffin is significantly enhanced with inclusion of nano-additives. These cutting-edge developments will bring major economic and environmental benefits.
