Tyseley Energy Park
Powering clean energy growth in Birmingham
300 years of heritage, leading the green revolution mission
A £47 million investment established a 10MW waste wood biomass power plant on-site. This facility provides renewable electricity for Webster & Horsfall’s operations and tenants across the 16-acre site, creating 19 jobs and diverting 72,000 tonnes of waste wood from landfill annually. The plant powers a Distributed Energy System, supporting local energy resilience.
TEP is home to the UK’s first open-access low and zero-carbon refuelling station, offering hydrogen, GreenD+ fuel, and electric vehicle charging. Strategically located between Birmingham City Centre and the airport, this station supports cleaner transport solutions, helping reduce emissions in public and commercial fleets.
An 8,500m² plot is available for low-carbon technology development, benefiting from existing planning permissions. The site offers a rare opportunity to advance innovative energy and waste technologies, aligning with Birmingham’s decarbonisation strategy.
Opened in July 2021, the £7 million BEIC facilitates R&D in energy storage, hydrogen and fuel cells, and waste-to-energy technologies. The centre fosters collaboration between academia, industry, and local government to address Birmingham’s energy and low-carbon transport challenges.
The National Centre for the Decarbonisation of Heat (NCDH) is a visionary initiative set to be completed by 2026. Once constructed, it will focus on developing and scaling low-carbon heating technologies, such as heat pumps and hydrogen boilers. The NCDH will include a Living Lab and Building Integration Unit to test and demonstrate energy innovations, policy frameworks, and retrofitting solutions. This collaborative effort between the University of Birmingham, TEP, and regional partners positions the West Midlands as a leader in low-carbon heating solutions.
TEP provides incubation spaces for low-carbon SMEs through the Climate Innovation Platform and Energy Transition Centre programmes. These initiatives empower businesses to develop and scale their innovations in energy, transport, and waste solutions.
