Funding from IBioIC’s Feasibility Fund enabled C-Source Renewables and Stephen Wallace from the University of Edinburgh to work together to assess the potential for bread and potato waste generated from food waste to be used as a viable glucose replacement for the bioproduction of three chemicals used to make valuable industrial products which are currently manufactured from diminishing fossil resources.
Read MoreThis project aimed to address two distinct issues; costly waste from salmon fisheries and the toxicity and unsustainability of conventional surfactants, which are produced from synthetic or petrochemical feedstocks.
Read MoreThis successful Feasibility Fund project represents a world-first step towards finding a natural solution to valorise waste wool.
Read MoreThis Feasibliity project by Artisan Roast, University of St Andrews, and Energy Recovery Systems Ltd demonstrated that coffee grounds are a profitable replacement for wood as a source for bioenergy.
Read MoreOwners of food waste AD plants are looking for alternative ways to valorise waste that contains both plastic and biobased substances. Carbogenics wanted to investigate whether fermentation from screening waste was possible and test a scaled-up version of their process for making biomethane from waste using bacteria.
