Actuation Lab secures seed funding co-led by Zero Carbon Capital and Kero Development Partners to advance industrial hardware.

Actuation Lab has secured seed funding co-led by Zero Carbon Capital and Kero Development Partners. The capital will support the company as it develops and refines its innovative industrial hardware, including actuators and valves designed to eliminate fugitive emissions in gas networks. The Bristol-based engineering firm applies advanced materials and origami design principles to build more durable, low-maintenance components for critical infrastructure.

The investment highlights the growing focus on hardware solutions capable of addressing greenhouse gas leaks in gas transmission networks. As industries explore transitions towards hydrogen and alternative fuels, maintaining secure infrastructure becomes paramount to prevent exacerbated leakage rates. Actuation Lab aims to provide the foundational technology required to transport and store future energy gases safely.
