Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions both globally and within the UK are derived from Four primary activities: Transportation, Heating, Industrial Processes and Power Generation. We develop projects that deploy cutting-edge green technologies that aim to reduce carbon emissions in each of these sectors as we transition to a Net-Zero economy.
We draw on our decades of energy development expertise to work with and support select organisations, to realise their renewable generation and decarbonisation ambitions.
Four Zeros Energy is an independent team of experienced and proven energy infrastructure developers with over 50 years’ combined experience of the development and delivery of energy platforms. We have a broad spectrum of expertise from project initiation and market analysis to financing, funding and commercial execution of projects.
We pride ourselves on our honesty, integrity, credibility, authenticity and our ability to move quickly. We aim to forge strong, lasting partnerships with select organisations who share our philosophy.
Four Zeros Energy was created to support the UK’s transition to a Net-Zero economy.

St Austell Green Hydrogen is a pioneering project that will support the UK in securing a technical lead in green hydrogen technology, while unlocking regional development opportunities and decarbonising existing fossil-fuel intensive industries in Cornwall.
The St Austell project will take grid-supplied excess renewable electricity at times when demand is low, and, through a process of electrolysis, produce green hydrogen. This hydrogen will be used to displace natural gas in local industrial activity – such as mining and mineral extraction – supporting ongoing operations and the future development of regional natural resource processing. By providing low carbon energy supplies, St Austell Green Hydrogen will help minerals-processing businesses secure a competitive advantage in global supply chains, supporting greater commitment to Cornwall and sustaining regional economic growth.
The new green hydrogen facility will be developed on a brownfield site within the Cornish Clay Country, to the north of St Austell and close to sites where the gas will initially be used. Phase One of the project will include a 20 MW electrolyser, which, when operated in response to availability of renewable electricity, is expected to produce about 2,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually. A local distribution system, including low pressure storage vessels and pipework, will be used to manage the supply and transportation of hydrogen to industrial users. The project has been planned with expansion capability up to 60 MW as the demand for green hydrogen grows from other sectors such as heavy goods transportation.
Phase One is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions in Cornwall by about 15,000 tonnes annually, which is about the same amount of CO₂ as is produced by about 7,000 homes.
The project will require planning approval from Cornwall County Council, and Four Zeros Energy will share its plans with local residents and stakeholders in advance of the submission of a planning application later in 2025; further updates will be posted here in due course.
Four Zeros Energy expect the project to start construction in 2026 which is estimated to create over 100 temporary jobs locally, with commissioning early in 2028. As well as protecting and creating long term jobs within the minerals industry, a number of full-time positions will also be created at the hydrogen production site itself.
