This white paper is delivered by Thermulon in collaboration with Ryder Architecture. Ryder Architecture is an international Thermulon's aim is to bring to market design practice, driven by an insulation material that makes entrepreneurial spirit and pioneering buildings energy efficient without of new technologies. Ryder’s aim is to compromising on fire safety. improve the quality of the world Additionally, Thermulon’s production around us and, in doing so, improve process can minimize the carbon people’s lives. On top of being a embodied in the insulation and can leading architectural practice, Ryder is be produced using construction waste a research-led. Ryder focuses on as a starting material, supporting the improving building performance and circular economy model. Thermulon's the team are keen innovators aerogels are the next generation of committed to delivering Net Zero mineral-based insulation. solutions to the construction sector. Thermulon’s material is currently Thermulon is an early stage UK under development; performance start-up. Thermulon’s team has metrics quoted in this report are invented a novel production process realistic target performances. for aerogels: nanoporous high-performance insulation from silica. 8
