Tersis Technologies has signed a non‑binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Vivum Intelligent Media to pursue the first UK deployment of Tersis’ Oaktree modular utility platform, a 2.2MW waste‑to‑energy “factory‑in‑a‑box” system based on its Dockmaster architecture.

The collaboration is centred on securing the £1m ($1.35m) TERA 2026 Award, which, if granted, would help fund procurement, shipping and commissioning of an initial £1.1m commercial unit in the UK.

The proposed facility is designed to convert waste streams into dispatchable power, thermal energy, and carbon‑based byproducts including biochar and activated carbon. The platform is also intended for environmental remediation applications such as the treatment of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances and microplastics, positioning it as a dual‑purpose waste‑to‑energy and clean‑up asset.

Tersis expects the UK site to serve as a proof‑of‑build for repeatable deployments across distributed waste‑to‑energy markets, where speed of deployment, permitting efficiency and local feedstock access are key commercial drivers.

Under the MoU, Vivum will lead the TERA 2026 application, including financial modelling and submission strategy, while Tersis will provide exclusive technology rights for the initial UK project, plus engineering, commissioning and system integration support. Tersis has also agreed, subject to award and final validation, to fund the remaining £100,000 of the proposed £1.1m system. The parties plan to jointly pursue site control, permitting and utility offtake arrangements, with the UK installation intended as a template for future Oaktree deployments in other regions.

Tersis CEO Antonio Uccello said the agreement marks an important step towards commercial rollout of the company’s modular platform, highlighting the potential to scale the Oaktree model across multiple waste streams and distributed power applications. The MoU is non‑binding and contingent on winning the TERA 2026 Award and completing final project validation.
