Our impact

FACET operates on the foundation of four strategic pillars: Thought leadership, Innovation, Research, and Education. These pillars guide our efforts as we strive to make significant and innovative impact across diverse sectors.


Our key areas of focus encompass complex energy systems and smart grids, energy storage and hydrogen, future fuels, PV/Solar power, industry decarbonisation, and critical minerals. By leveraging our world-class capabilities and expertise, we are committed to driving change and delivering groundbreaking solutions in our journey towards net zero. 

Energy storage and hydrogen

Hydrogen, a critical renewable energy, is being looked at as a vital player in our efforts to reduce carbon emissions and work towards a decarbonised economy.


We are directing our attention towards how we can most effectively and safely store this low-carbon fuel. 

Future fuels

Enabling a decarbonised economy will require alternative net zero fuels.


The implementation of new fuels can present various obstacles, including concerns regarding cost-effectiveness, storage capacity, distribution logistics, and safety measures.

PV/Solar panels

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are a fantastic way to reduce energy costs for commercial and residential properties, however they play an even bigger part in our transition to net zero.

Industry decarbonisation

A sustainable future for all requires advancing industry decarbonisation.


The effective adoption of renewable and clean energy, smart energy management, energy transition metals and energy education and policy will help to enable sustainable industries.

Critical minerals

Critical minerals play a pivotal role in facilitating the shift towards more sustainable energy sources and innovative technologies.


These minerals can be found in electric vehicles, battery storage systems, wind turbines, solar panels, and various electronic and electrical devices.
