Sustainability Breakfast

Join Green Business Hub for their next quarterly sustainability networking, co-hosted with Barclays Eagle Lab, Discovery Park, Sandwich.

Enjoy a complimentary breakfast and be inspired by two amazing speakers…

Sergei Panov is Head of HTPEM Product Development at ZeroAvia.

Aviation is the fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions. Today’s aircraft engines emit substances in addition to CO2 that double or even triple aviation’s climate impact! NOx, contrails, and particulates have a specific warming effect of their own. Non-carbon emissions are thought to account for around two-thirds of climate impact.
The Solution: Scalable hydrogen and electric propulsion technologies to drastically reduce environmental harm and lower costs.

ZeroAvia’s mission is a hydrogen-electric, zero-emission powertrain in every aircraft.

From 19-seat regional trips to over 100-seat long-distance flights, ZeroAvia enables scalable, sustainable aviation by replacing conventional engines with hydrogen-electric powertrains.

ZeroAvia are a team of passionate innovators dedicated to bringing safe, zero-emission flight to aviation, with locations in Kemble and London (Discovery Park) in the UK, and Hollister, California.

Beth Janson, Strategic Business Development Manager at Countrystyle Recycling.

Countrystyle Recycling is spearheading a new initiative aimed at reducing landfill waste.

A family-run business based in Kent, Countrystyle has introduced an innovative closed-loop recycling program to tackle the 250,000 tonnes of coffee grounds that end up in landfills annually, contributing to harmful emissions.

Through this program, coffee grounds are repurposed into nutrient-rich fertiliser, providing an eco-friendly solution that supports both environmental sustainability and businesses’ efforts to achieve their green objectives.
