Recovering value from industrial materials
We bring engineering and commercial experience together to help businesses make more of renewable energy, reduce energy costs and move their electrification plans forward.
Meet the peopleBusinesses need energy on their own schedule. Solar and wind work to a different one.
We develop storage that helps close that gap by banking surplus renewable energy on site for later use. Our focus is practical: help businesses manage energy costs, work within connection constraints and support changing energy needs.
A family engineering story spanning more than 110 years, with a continuing interest in finding value where others see waste.
From Sherwood Hunter’s work recovering wool and developing coal-washing processes, to George and Sue Hunter’s role in industrial filtration, practical problem-solving runs through the family’s history.
Today, Alex Hunter brings that outlook to Sherwood Power: helping businesses bank renewable energy on site and use it when it matters.

Bringing that outlook to energy storage
The Sherwood FAB — Free Air Bank — uses air and water to store energy. It uses surplus renewable electricity to bank energy on site for later use, helping businesses make efficient use of renewables, expand electrification and reduce energy costs.
Generate | Bank | Use. Renewable electricity can come from on-site generation, the grid or both. The FAB banks energy at your site so it can be used when demand rises, renewable generation falls or grid electricity is more expensive.
Our approach goes beyond electricity alone. Depending on the configuration and application, heating, cooling or compressed air outputs may offer additional value for the site.
Explore the FABStart with energy demand, available renewable supply, connection limits and the plans energy constraints may be holding back.
Bring engineering requirements, energy costs and commercial priorities together to identify where the FAB could add value.
Consider electrification, future loads, service access and opportunities to expand the system as the site's needs change.
