About this event
Large scale adoption of bio-based manufacturing offers numerous promising opportunities to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with key industrial production methods. However, to encourage their uptake it is vital to be able to demonstrate the superior environmental performance offered by biotechnology processes.
Central to this is the ability to predict the overall emissions generated by specific biotechnology production processes across various sectors. In response to this challenge, the Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC) and partners are developing C-SUM – a bespoke carbon accounting tool for chemical and biotechnology based research, development and manufacturing.
During this webinar, Dr Ian Archer, Technical Director at IBioIC, will explore the development, functionality and benefits of this cutting-edge tool. Further insights will be provided by software developers, Firefinch and key stakeholders involved in the development and testing of the tool.
