TUPI ENERGY LIMITED

What TUPI ENERGY LIMITED does

Tupi Energy Limited is an Edinburgh-based engineering consultancy founded in 2020 that provides design review, feasibility studies, and R&D services to energy sector clients across the UK and internationally. The firm's service portfolio covers wind turbines (mechanical, structural, electrical), solar power plants (PV modules, inverters, battery), hydrogen systems (production, storage, transportation), pressure equipment (vessels, piping, safety accessories), and subsea umbilical/riser/flowline (SURF) systems. Tupi Energy also delivers technical training programs in energy efficiency, wind energy, hydrogen, and solar energy, offered online or in-person.

Beyond traditional consultancy, Tupi Energy has developed a proprietary pipeline pigging system designed to convert pre-existing natural gas pipelines for hydrogen transport. The system features modules with embedded electronic, magnetic, and ultrasonic sensors, alongside injection and heating devices, that enable pipeline inspection, defect and anomaly detection, removal of harmful particles, and application of coating material to mitigate hydrogen embrittlement in carbon steel pipelines. The technology is referenced in the European Hydrogen Backbone 2020 report, which identifies €21B in expected investment through 2040 for hydrogen pipeline enhancement across ten European countries.

The firm monetizes through professional services across three streams: engineering consultancy, research and development, and training programs. Customer acquisition is driven primarily by direct engagement through the company website, a LinkedIn company page, and participation in industry conferences such as EGYPS. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to contact the firm directly. The client base spans energy infrastructure operators, government and local authorities, and energy industry professionals. Headcount is small (1-10 employees), and only one named leader, Director Leandro Soares da Costa, is disclosed.
