Our work
We provide academic and industrial partners with access to state of the art high-throughput synthesis, characterisation and testing facilities and expertise to develop novel routes and functional materials from biomass and bio-derived feedstock.
The Micro Bio Refinery (MBR), was established in collaboration with Unilever and AB Sugar. It is a state-of-the-art facility that identifies and designs the next generation of sustainable chemicals derived from agricultural, forestry and food residues and waste.
Industry, researchers and start-up companies can access the facility and its expertise to identify new materials that can be made from the by-products of crops like wheat, corn, sugar, beet and other biomass sources.
