Catagen

CATAGEN’s mission is to clean and decarbonise the air. We are a pioneering green emissions testing facility based in Belfast providing unrivalled metrics to optimise catalyst development and reduce harmful tailpipe emissions. Our expertise in the mobility sector and global emissions standards has led us to develop ClimaHtech technologies including Green Hydrogen. Our Core Business provides GREEN emissions testing to global automotive in the development of new vehicles and more recently testing for industrial catalysts such as SOFCs (solid oxide fuel cells). A spin out from Queen’s University Belfast - our patented Energy Efficient OMEGA technology replaces vehicle catalyst testing without consuming fossil fuels. CATAGEN's expertise in the mobility sector combined with its deep domain knowledge of global emissions regulatory standards and patented technology has led the company to develop further technologies to clean and decarbonise the air. In 2022/23, it received 7 funding awards from the UK Department of Energy Security and Net Zero to develop a green hydrogen generator (not electrolysis), a biohydrogen generator, an e-fuel generator, hydrogen compression and carbon capture technologies.

Nuada

Nuada is a vertically integrated pure-play carbon capture company that is poised to decarbonise heavy industries through its next generation point-source capture technology. We have combined advanced solid adsorbents (Metal Organic Frameworks or MOFs) with proven vacuum swing technology to vacuum CO2 out of industrial emissions through a “heatless” and solvent-free process. The use of pressure instead of heat represents a step-change innovation that slashes the energy and costs barriers for mass adoption of carbon capture in industry. Nuada builds energy-efficient CO2 filtration machines that enable industrial emitters in hard-to-abate sectors to achieve their Net Zero targets whilst minimising the impact on their bottom line.

Linamar Corporation

Linamar Corporation (TSX:LNR) is an advanced manufacturing company where the intersection of leading-edge technology and deep manufacturing expertise is creating solutions that power vehicles, motion, work and lives for the future. The Company is made up of two operating segments – the Industrial segment and the Mobility segment, both global leaders in manufacturing solutions and world-class developers of highly engineered products. The Industrial segment is comprised of Skyjack, MacDon and Salford. Skyjack manufactures scissor, boom and telehandler lifts for the aerial work platform industry. MacDon manufactures combine draper headers and self-propelled windrowers for the agricultural harvesting industry. Salford also supplies the agriculture market with farm tillage and crop fertilizer applicator equipment. The Mobility segment is focused on propulsion systems, structural and chassis systems, energy storage and power generation for both the global electrified and traditionally powered vehicle markets, and is subdivided into three regional groups and one global product group: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the newly formed Structures Group. The Regional Mobility groups are vertically integrated operations combining expertise in light metal casting, forging, machining and assembly. The Linamar Structures Group offers competitive lightweight innovations for safety-critical components and systems for the global mobility market. In addition, the eLIN Product Solutions Group focuses on Electrification and McLaren Engineering provides design, development, and testing services for the Mobility segment. Linamar’s medical solutions group, Linamar MedTech, focuses on manufacturing solutions for medical devices and precision medical components. Linamar has over 31,000 employees in 70 manufacturing locations, 14 R&D centres and 28 sales offices in 19 countries in North and South America, Europe and Asia, which generated sales of more than $7.9 billion in 2022.
