Clean Futures & Renewable Energy
Our mission extends beyond solar.
At Hive Energy, we are using renewable energy to create transformational change in order to create a cleaner future for our planet.
We are using our experience and expertise to include energy storage solutions across our green energy portfolio. Since 2010 we have been expanding our technology focus from solar, and our team are now exploring new opportunities in battery storage, green hydrogen, green ammonia, and the circular economy.
Not only do we have renewable energy projects in development across the globe, but we have dedicated expert teams working on a variety of alternative sustainable technologies. Hive Ventures, Hive Aggregates, Hive Carbon and Hive Ecosystems are all part of the Hive Energy group.
We want to create a better future. Moving away from fossil fuels will allow us to reduce carbon emissions but we must do more to save our planet. The circular economy is a positive move away from linear production, and allows us to make better use of the products and materials we already have, in a sustainable manner. Our circular economy teams are recycling waste materials, creating sustainable products, and restoring land to provide a greener future for all.
Hive has been in the solar industry since 2010. We have more than 60 complete sites across the world and 100+ solar energy projects in our pipeline.
Our mission is to harvest the power of the sun to save our planet. Across the world, we are using too much energy from fossil fuels. At Hive, we are paving the way to a greener future through renewable energy.
Solar power is a fantastic resource that will allow us to power the planet. Using energy from the sun will allow us to significantly reduce our reliance on other resources which cause significant damage to the planet. Our Country Managers are working across the globe to plan and develop solar energy parks to improve the accessibility of renewable energy.
Following the success Hive has had in the solar energy sector, we are working on multiple green hydrogen projects to expand our renewable energy pipeline.
At Hive we are passionate about creating a greener future. In recent years we have been expanding on our renewable energy technologies, including green hydrogen.
The Hive Hydrogen team is harvesting the power of water, the sun, and wind to create a fully sustainable energy source.
In recent years there has been a big shift towards green hydrogen and the renewable energy has been widely adopted across the globe. In order to meet the demand, we are currently in the process of developing green hydrogen plants in multiple countries.
As we grow our renewable energy portfolio, we are also on a mission to invest in circular economy businesses. Our research team, Hive Ventures, are at the heart of our planning and investments.
The team is focused on understanding and exploring emerging technologies. Our expert research team identify potential business investments which align with our business ethics and sustainable values.
The aim of Hive Ventures is to grow the Hive business group through astute and interesting investments. We support businesses who are developing new technologies in order to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
The team have been responsible for creating joint ventures between Hive and two exciting businesses; Nafici Environmental Research and CuanTec.
Hive Aggregates are utilising industrial by-products to create building materials for use in development projects.
The Hive Aggregates team are based in the UK and aim to reduce waste from the building industry. Building products and development are both very carbon intensive, with the cement industry alone emitting the equivalent carbon as entire countries. The Hive Aggregates team want to create sustainable products to help reduce current carbon intensive practices, specifically in the cement industry.
Solution building is a key part in the Hive Aggregates role. Instead of wasting coal from power stations, the team convert pulverised fuel ash waste using an innovative bulk drying technology. The process will not only create a sustainable cement alternative but will reduce the reliance on natural resources and recycle previously discarded waste.
Our Hive Carbon team, based in South Africa, utilise invasive plants to create innovative BioChar.
BioChar is created using a patented technology. The process converts biomass to carbon, BioChar and activated charcoal. While the process generates BioChar, one of the fantastic benefits of the technology is the carbon sequestration.
BioChar can be used in a variety of circumstances. One of the main contributors to greenhouse gasses is methane, from livestock. BioChar can be used to reduce the methane produced by livestock, as well as improving the health of the animals.
As well as use with livestock, BioChar has been proven to significantly improve the quality of farmland. Improved pastures can increase the quality of crops and subsequently local environment.
Hive Ecosystems was established in 2021 to support Hive Carbon and develop further sustainability projects in South Africa.
As well as offering support to Hive Carbon, the Hive Ecosystems team are responsible for working with local landowners. Working with locals includes offering advice and assistance to help reintroduce vegetation to local environment and boost agriculture.
Currently, the team are investigating opportunities for extensive land restoration in the Albany Thicket. The project aims to restore and transform areas of land which have previously been destroyed by agriculture and overgrazing. Plans are in place to introduce native plants in depleted areas. Not only will the project help rewild local land, but it will provide employment across the range.
