📢Rux Energy, an innovator in hydrogen storage solutions based in Sydney, Australia, has announced the opening of its first UK office in Harwich, Essex at the heart of Freeport East. This strategic expansion marks a significant milestone in Rux Energy’s mission to advance sustainable energy solutions and support the global transition to a hydrogen economy. Freeport East signed an MoU with Rux Energy in February 2024 to support their UK market entry. The new Rux Energy engineering office will serve as a hub for their operations in the UK and Europe, facilitating closer collaboration with key partners and stakeholders in the region as well as assisting in the delivery of two Innovate UK funded innovation programmes of which Rux are consortium members. “We are thrilled to establish our European presence in Harwich, a location that aligns perfectly with our strategic goals and commitment to sustainability,” said Dr Jehan Kanga, Founder and CEO of Rux Energy. “This new office will allow us to better serve our customers and partners, and help accelerate the adoption of hydrogen as a clean energy source.” Rux Energy’s expansion into Harwich is supported by strong partnerships and strategic support from Freeport East as well as the University of Suffolk and Cranfield University having signed MOU’s with all three organisations.

Our Clean Energy Specialist Robert Edge will be there to talk about an emerging Clean Growth Zone within Freeport East that will deliver across the UK Government’s clean energy agenda, including on/offshore wind, green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuels, cleaner shipping and green manufacturing. A key part of this is the 122 hectare #BathsideBay port expansion project in #Harwich which offers unique opportunities to support offshore wind assembly, construction and manufacturing.
