Investigating the ideas that might power Asia in 2035.
Our research team studies the materials, storage systems and transmission techniques that could raise the ceiling of what a decarbonised grid can do. Everything here is exploratory work, published so we can invite scrutiny and collaboration.
Three long-horizon threads.
Our lab organises work into three research threads that we believe are worth patient investment: advanced storage materials, resilient transmission architecture, and grid-edge intelligence.
- · Advanced storage materials & chemistry
- · Transmission efficiency & resilience
- · Grid-edge intelligence for demand response
Exploring iridium-family materials in future storage & transmission.
One long-running thread in our lab investigates whether certain iridium-based materials and advanced energy-storage architectures might, in theory, contribute to improved future electricity generation, transmission efficiency or storage systems.
The question we're asking
Could iridium-family compounds — already used in demanding catalytic and electrochemical contexts — inform the design of longer-lived electrodes, more stable interfaces or more efficient transmission components as part of a future clean-energy stack?
We treat this as an open scientific question, not a product roadmap.
What we are actually doing
Reviewing published literature, running small-scale simulations, partnering with academic labs, and prototyping test cells that let us observe behaviour under controlled conditions. Results are logged, peer-reviewed where possible, and revised.
What this is not
This is not a commercial product. It is not a promise of specific efficiency gains or storage capacities. It is not a validated engineering claim. It is exploratory, pre-commercial research, and we take care to describe it that way.
Why we still invest
Grid-scale problems reward patient, multi-decade research. Even if a specific line of inquiry does not translate directly into deployed technology, the by-products — instruments, models, trained scientists — strengthen the field as a whole.
More long-horizon work.
Battery chemistry
Studying safer, longer-cycle chemistries suited to tropical climates.
Transmission monitoring
Sensor networks and modelling to reduce network losses.
Grid-edge software
Distributed optimisation for buildings and microgrids.
Materials informatics
Simulation tooling to shortlist candidate materials faster.

How we do research.
Publish honestly
We describe uncertainty as clearly as we describe results.
Invite scrutiny
Partnerships with academic peer reviewers are the default.
Revise willingly
When evidence changes, so do our conclusions and roadmap.
