NexGen Carbon Zero

What NexGen Carbon Zero does

NexGen Carbon Zero Ltd is a privately held British technology company that designs and manufactures low-voltage far-infrared (FIR) radiant heating systems based on proprietary carbon nano technology, headquartered in Romsey, Hampshire with 51-100 employees. The company produces three primary hardware form factors — Infrared Ceiling Tiles (for office grid ceilings), Infrared Ceiling Paper (for plasterboard ceilings) and Overhead Rafts (for warehouses and factories) — all operating at 24V and emitting FIR at the wavelength of sunlight to heat building fabric, objects, and occupants directly rather than warming air. The system is complemented by the proprietary POER Smart app (Android and Apple), in-room thermostats, and Eye-Sense occupancy and CO2 sensors, and can be packaged with solar PV and battery storage (Tesla Powerwall, GivEnergy) as a "Net Zero Package" for fully decarbonised heating.

The company sells directly via website quote capture and a dedicated sales team, with a hybrid go-to-market spanning enterprise field sales (housing associations, local councils, care homes, commercial and industrial clients) and direct-to-consumer enquiries across social housing, residential, commercial, industrial, leisure/tourism, and government funding categories. Channel partnerships include national solar panel and battery distributors and finance partners for large-scale roll-outs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based per project. Strategic emphasis is on social housing retrofit (Awaab's Law, MEES, Decent Homes Standard compliance; damp and mould remediation), heritage and listed buildings, and renewable integration, with innovation-funded pilot programmes underway with the Scottish and Welsh Governments and 60 social housing provider engagements.

The company holds Made in Britain membership and Solar Impulse Foundation Efficient Solution labelling, and operates as an independent private limited company with no disclosed external investment. Documented case studies include West of Scotland Housing Association, Together Housing, Hedyn, Melin Homes, Wadham College (University of Oxford), University of Brighton, Pressbeau care home, Birmingham Football Club, Supreme Freight, MKG, and Fuse Properties, with reported outcomes including 50% energy savings over electric panel heaters, 70% per-workstation consumption reduction (1,800W vs 6,000W), and wall moisture reduction from 35% to 5% within 5 days. The founding date carries a discrepancy — the website states 2022 while the Privacy Policy states February 2023.

Core offering

NexGen Carbon Zero manufactures and sells electric far infrared heating systems based on proprietary Carbon Nano Technology. The portfolio includes Infrared Ceiling Tiles, Infrared Ceiling Paper, Overhead Rafts and FXPE Insulated Foam Backed IR Heating Elements, all operating at 24V low voltage and controlled via smart thermostats and the POER Smart App. Offerings target residential, social housing, commercial, industrial, care home, education, and listed building customers in the UK and internationally.

Product overview

NexGen Carbon Zero manufactures and sells infrared heating systems as a complete portfolio of products designed for energy-efficient, low-carbon heating across residential, commercial, industrial, and social housing applications. The core product line consists of three main heating products: Infrared Ceiling Tiles (for office ceiling grids), Infrared Ceiling Paper (for standard plasterboard ceilings), and Overhead Rafts (for open warehouse spaces). These products share the same underlying Carbon Nano Technology-based far infrared heating system, operate at 24V, and are controlled through a unified smart control system. The portfolio includes the proprietary POER Smart App, in-room thermostats, and optional occupancy sensors (Eye-Sense). The systems can be combined with solar PV panels and battery storage (Tesla Powerwall, GivEnergy) into a Net Zero Package for fully decarbonized heating solutions. NexGen's systems are designed for quick installation, zonal heating control, and integration with building management systems.

Brands

• NexGen: Primary brand name for the infrared heating systems and technology products.

Products and services

• Infrared Ceiling Tiles Infrared heating panels designed to fit standard office ceiling grid systems, providing efficient radiant heat while maintaining a near-invisible finish. Targets commercial and office environments requiring discreet, energy-efficient heating.
• Infrared Ceiling Paper Ultra-thin infrared heating film fixed to standard plasterboard ceilings or concealed within new ceilings, using carbon nano technology to emit far infrared radiation at the exact wavelength of sunlight. Suitable for residential and commercial properties.
• Overhead Rafts Suspended overhead infrared heating rafts designed for open warehouse and factory workspaces. Heats individual workspace areas cost-effectively without heating the entire building volume, and can be removed and redeployed.
• FXPE Insulated Foam Backed IR Heating Elements Insulated foam-backed infrared heating elements that combine heating with insulation, using carbon nano technology to deliver efficient far infrared heating.
• Net Zero Package Integrated heating solution combining NexGen infrared heating with Solar PV panels and smart battery storage systems (Tesla Powerwall, GivEnergy) for zero-carbon, renewable-powered heating. Designed for seamless integration with renewable energy sources.

Broad incumbents

• Mitsubishi Electric: Mitsubishi Electric is a major HVAC manufacturer with a strong Ecodan heat pump portfolio targeting the same low-carbon residential and commercial retrofit market as NexGen. As a broad incumbent with deep R&D and installer networks, it is the primary heat pump competitor in UK social housing decarbonisation.
• Baxi: Baxi is a leading UK heating manufacturer with a strong incumbent presence in residential and commercial boilers and a growing heat pump portfolio. As a broad incumbent, Baxi is repositioning into low-carbon heating that directly competes with NexGen's infrared solutions, with deep UK housing association relationships.
• Daikin: Daikin is the global leader in HVAC and heat pump technology with a broad low-carbon heating portfolio. Daikin's heat pumps are a directly competing low-carbon alternative to NexGen's infrared systems in residential and commercial retrofits, and benefit from substantial government incentives.
• Glen Dimplex: Glen Dimplex is a major global electric heating group with a broad portfolio that includes Dimplex-branded infrared panels alongside storage heaters, heat pumps, and convection products. It is a broad incumbent competing across the wider electric heating space rather than specialising exclusively in infrared.
• Bosch Thermotechnology: Bosch Thermotechnology is a global heating and hot water manufacturer with a broad portfolio including heat pumps, boilers, and hybrid systems. It competes with NexGen across low-carbon residential and commercial heating, particularly through UK installer channels and Boiler Upgrade Scheme-eligible products.
• Vaillant: Vaillant is a leading European heating manufacturer with a portfolio spanning gas boilers, heat pumps (aroTHERM), and renewable heating systems. As a broad incumbent, it competes with NexGen in residential and commercial heating retrofits and benefits from established installer relationships.

Others

• Tesla: Tesla manufactures the Powerwall home battery storage system, which NexGen integrates with for its Net Zero Package. Tesla is an ecosystem enabler rather than a direct competitor, providing the storage infrastructure that allows NexGen's 24V infrared systems to operate cost-effectively on stored solar energy.

Direct peers

• Herschel Infrared: Herschel Infrared is a UK-based manufacturer of infrared heating panels for residential and commercial spaces. It directly competes with NexGen in the infrared panel category with similar target customers and form factors, and represents the closest head-to-head competitor in the UK market.
• Tansun: Tansun is a UK-based infrared heating manufacturer specialising in commercial and industrial applications including outdoor heating. It is a direct peer to NexGen in the infrared heating category with overlapping commercial and industrial customer segments.
• Redwell: Redwell is an Austrian manufacturer of infrared heating panels for homes and commercial properties across Europe.
