Scaling sustainably – how Tharsus supports your growth
Imagine launching a new product that gains traction quickly, only to realise your supply chain isn’t prepared to handle the sudden growth.
Production slows, costs escalate, and your window of opportunity narrows.
At Tharsus, we’ve seen how the pressure to scale can compromise sustainability—but it doesn’t have to!
As companies in the electrification and energy sector aim to grow rapidly, they often face the dual challenge of scaling up production while maintaining their sustainability goals. With the UK committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, the need to scale sustainably is more pressing than ever. According to a 2023 report by the Royal Society, the UK will need up to 100 Terawatt-hours (TWh) of storage capacity by 2050 to support its legally binding net-zero targets. This is equivalent to over 5,000 Dinorwig-sized pumped hydroelectric dams. Meeting this demand requires innovative design, robust engineering, and scalable manufacturing solutions.
Similarly, the London School of Economics (LSE) reports that renewable sources, including wind, solar, and biomass, contributed over 40% of the UK’s electricity generation in 2022. With the government’s support through policies like the Contracts for Difference scheme and investment incentives, renewable growth is accelerating.
Our Solve + Scale + Supply approach helps our clients expand quickly and sustainably, ensuring that they meet market demands without sacrificing their commitment to sustainability.

Strategies for scaling sustainably – building resilience into your growth
Successfully scaling a product while maintaining sustainability requires a strategic approach that considers environmental impact at every stage of development. Here’s how Tharsus ensures sustainable growth:
-
Design for Environment (DfE)
The key to scaling sustainably starts at the design phase. By integrating Design for Environment (DfE) principles, Tharsus optimises product designs to reduce waste, minimise resource use, and ensure that products are easier to recycle at the end of their lifecycle.
Are you curious about how our design strategies can enhance your sustainability?
-
Sustainable supply chain management
Building a resilient, sustainable supply chain is critical when scaling. The Royal Society highlights that stable and sustainable supply chains for battery storage technologies, including vital minerals like lithium and cobalt, are essential for meeting future energy storage needs. Tharsus employs advanced supply chain monitoring tools to identify risks and establish partnerships with sustainable suppliers. With sustainability at the heart of new policies like the Energy Profits Levy and hydrogen incentives, Tharsus’ sustainable sourcing and supply chain management enables you to align with green objectives while reducing risk and maintaining market momentum.

Energy-efficient manufacturing processes
As production scales, so does energy consumption. Implementing energy-efficient manufacturing processes is essential to prevent scaling from increasing carbon emissions. Tharsus integrates smart manufacturing techniques to minimise energy use and maximise efficiency.

Market trends and opportunities for scalable electrification and energy solutions
The UK’s electrification and energy sector is set for significant expansion, with investments in energy storage, renewable technologies, and hydrogen production expected to increase substantially over the next decade. According to the World Economic Forum, 2022 was a record year for low-carbon investments in the UK, with the electrification and energy sector spending at unprecedented levels. This growth is driven by ambitious government targets and the country’s commitment to becoming a global leader in the electrification and energy space.
Additionally, the London School of Economics (LSE) reports that the share of renewables in the UK’s electricity mix grew by 5% from 2021 to 2022, with wind power alone contributing 26.8% of total electricity generation. However, to fully realise these opportunities, companies need reliable, scalable solutions that can support growth while maintaining sustainability goals.
Tharsus’ role in enabling energy storage market success
As a design, engineering and manufacturing partner, Tharsus helps companies navigate these complex growth dynamics by offering scalable product development support for:
Energy storage systems
According to the Royal Society, energy storage capacity is expected to increase tenfold by 2050, making reliable and scalable solutions critical for supporting rapid expansion in this space.
Tharsus supports companies in developing energy storage systems optimised for high-volume production, ensuring faster deployment to meet market demands.
Hydrogen production technologies
With robust government funding for hydrogen, Tharsus is positioned to support the development of your hydrogen technology for sustainable industry applications, ensuring both safety and compliance.
Tharsus collaborates with electrification and energy innovators to design and manufacture bespoke hydrogen technologies, ensuring that products are manufactured to meet strict safety and compliance standards.
Smart energy management systems
With investments in smart grid technologies rising, there is a growing need for hardware solutions that can intelligently manage and optimise energy use.
Tharsus partners with clients to create advanced energy management systems, using its Solve + Scale + Supply approach to deliver reliable, scalable, and market-ready products.
