Oxford Flow, a spin-out of the Oxford Thermofluids Institute (OTI), has secured a significant $25 million USD Series C funding round led by bp Ventures and EIP. The funding will be utilized to scale up the company's operations and further enhance its valve technology aimed at reducing fugitive emissions and enabling hydrogen-ready solutions. Founded by Professor Thomas Povey in 2015, Oxford Flow's valve design eliminates mechanical drive trains, stems, and diaphragms, which not only improves reliability but also reduces maintenance costs and minimizes emissions leaks. Fugitive emissions, often leaks from operational equipment like valves and compressors in the energy sector, are a significant concern during fuel extraction, production, transportation, and use. By reimagining valve design, Oxford Flow's technology significantly reduces wear, maintenance needs, and emissions from valves, addressing critical industry challenges. Both bp Ventures and EIP see the potential of Oxford Flow's technology in enhancing operations efficiency and reliability. Gareth Burns from bp Ventures highlighted the importance of Oxford Flow's technology for reducing maintenance and downtime costs at production facilities and its applicability in emerging sectors like hydrogen. Similarly, Steven Yang from EIP emphasized the strategic importance of Oxford Flow's valves for reducing emissions and operating costs in various energy sectors. With a strong focus on sustainability and innovation, Oxford Flow aims to expand its team, production capacity, and explore new avenues to help industries reduce fugitive emissions. Neil Poxon, the CEO of Oxford Flow, expressed pride in the company's achievements and its commitment to revolutionizing valve technology for the energy sector. With nearly 60 patents granted, Oxford Flow is poised to play a crucial role in enabling infrastructure for hydrogen, ammonia, and CO2 utilization, contributing to a more sustainable energy landscape.
