Nellie Technologies Secures First Patent: A Milestone in Carbon Capture Innovation
We are delighted to share an exciting milestone in Nellie Technologies’ journey—our first patent, titled “Improvements in and relating to carbon capture.” While the name might not trip off the tongue, its significance cannot be overstated.
Stephen says: “As the Founder of Nellie, this achievement holds a special place in my heart. Coming from a practical rather than theoretical scientific background, the idea of holding a patent once felt like an impossibility. But here we are—a moment that represents the fusion of innovation, determination, and a vision for a sustainable future.”
This patent is a testament to the groundbreaking work happening at Nellie and to the immense potential of pragmatic, resourceful approaches. It’s proof that world-class innovation doesn’t require an extravagant budget; it requires ingenuity, persistence, and a commitment to solving real-world challenges.
What This Patent Means for Nellie
This achievement strengthens Nellie’s mission to lead in carbon dioxide removal technologies. It underlines our dedication to pioneering impactful, scalable solutions that contribute to a more sustainable planet. It also sets the foundation for future innovation, as we aim to develop more technologies that push the boundaries of what’s possible in the fight against climate change.
We know this is only the beginning. While this is our first patent, it certainly won’t be the last. As we continue to innovate, we look forward to contributing even more to the global effort to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide and combat climate change.
Gratitude to Our Supporters
This patent wouldn’t have been possible without the support and expertise of several key individuals and organisations. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them:
Tom Turner at Abel + Imray: Tom was instrumental in guiding us through the complex patent application process. His expertise ensured that our innovation received the maximum protection, allowing us to secure this critical milestone.
Welsh Government: Their backing through the Intellectual Property Office UK’s IP Audit programme and subsequent initiatives provided vital support. Their belief in our vision gave us the resources needed to take this idea from concept to protected innovation.
Intellectual Property Office: The IPO’s Green Channel, designed to fast-track inventions with significant environmental benefits, allowed our application to receive the accelerated attention it deserved. This programme ensured that our patent was granted quickly.
Looking Ahead
This achievement inspires us to push harder, think bigger, and continue challenging the status quo. We are driven by the belief that innovation is key to tackling the pressing environmental challenges of our time.
To everyone who has supported Nellie Technologies on this journey—thank you. Here’s to many more milestones ahead as we continue to innovate to fix the climate.
