GreenSpur Secures Design Contract for Optimised Wind Turbine Generator for US
Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Industry
Time To ACT plc (AQSE: TTA), an engineering-led group focused on technology for the energy
transition supply chain, is pleased to announce that its GreenSpur business has won a design
contract to develop an optimised wind turbine generator for XFlow Energy ("XFlow").
Based in Seattle, USA, XFlow is an innovator in the renewable energy sector, specialising in the
design of an innovative vertical-axis wind turbine ("VAWT"). Their flagship 25 kW VAWT has been
engineered to reduce the cost of wind energy generation while maintaining high efficiency and
structural integrity.
GreenSpur's Rare Earth-free generator technology is uniquely suited to meet the distinct demands
of VAWT technology, and helps overcome design and performance challenges that have
previously limited broader adoption. With the VAWT industry gaining traction, GreenSpur's
technology helps position it at the forefront of this transition, driven by a strong belief that VAWTs
will become a significant part of the global wind energy mix.
This contract represents an exciting development for GreenSpur, reflecting years of dedicated
development and innovation. The design work under this contract will leverage GreenSpur's
cutting-edge, Rare Earth-free generator technology to create a bespoke solution tailored for lowlevel turbulent wind experienced by VAWTs.
Upon successful completion of the design contract, the two parties expect to enter a prototype
and manufacturing contract which will move GreenSpur's Technology Readiness Level ("TRL") to
TRL8/9. TRL is an internationally recognised method for measuring the maturity of technological
development, with a TRL8/9 indicating that a technology is "system complete and
qualified/proven in operational environment".
The Company believes that this progress will further solidify GreenSpur's position as a leader in
innovative wind energy solutions and contribute to the broader adoption of sustainable
technologies. It also believes that GreenSpur's relationship with XFlow has the potential to act as a
pathway into the nascent floating VAWT market.
The contracted design work will commence immediately and Time To ACT will provide further
updates as the project progresses.
Chris Heminway, Executive Chairman of Time To ACT plc, commented:
"I am delighted that GreenSpur has won this important design contract, which really underscores the
growing relevance of our capabilities in the renewable energy sector. The importance of the contract
is less about its current size and more about its ability to help progress GreenSpur's technology up the
TRL ladder and in its potential to open a pathway into the floating VAWT market."

About Time To ACT plc
Time To ACT plc is an engineering-led group focused on technology for the energy transition
supply chain. It currently has two principal operating businesses: Diffusion Alloys and GreenSpur.
As the parent company of the Group, Time To ACT provides strategic and operational support to
the operating companies and capital to enable their growth.
About GreenSpur
GreenSpur is an intellectual property creator and generator designer that has developed a credible
solution for renewable energy applications to the Rare Earth magnet problem.
Magnets constructed using Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are fundamental components in electrical
generators and electric vehicle motors which are critical to delivering the clean energy transition.
However, there are substantial supply chain constraints and risks in the sourcing of REEs that are
needed for these magnets.
GreenSpur's generator design eliminates the need for Rare Earth magnets and copper coils
without any loss in electrical performance.
About Diffusion Alloys
Diffusion Alloys supplies diffusion coatings. A diffusion coating is an intermetallic layer that
protects metal components from degradation at high temperatures and in highly corrosive
environments, such as those found in hydrogen and nuclear energy generation.
Diffusion Alloys has joined forces with Johnson Matthey plc, the market leaders in synthesis gas
("syngas") with a significant pipeline of Blue Hydrogen projects, to scale-up production and
address the increasing demand for low carbon hydrogen used to reduce global carbon emissions.
In addition to working for numerous historic and existing customers, the Directors believe that
Diffusion Alloys is the only credible diffusion coater in the world for blue hydrogen components,
has already been coating in volume for a leading European vendor in the green hydrogen space
and is also in pre-commercial discussions with new cleantech equipment manufacturers
