BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green
technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate
action through strong international leadership. To achieve this, we need to better understand
the following research questions:

Lead research organisation: University of Leeds
The project focuses on the piloting of biomass pre-treatment and hydrolysis steps and developing processes tailored to feedstocks.
Biomass and biodegradable wastes are two of the UK's renewable resources that remain under exploited, and that can help alleviate our dependence on fossil fuels, and contribute to a sustainable energy scenario. The indiv...

The project aims to develop sustainable biomass based energy systems and recover/feedstocks from biomass and waste processing.
Converting biomass waste to bio-products will simultaneously provide a route to waste-disposal, and a process for the production of useful, economically attractive products. Within all the products derived from biomass w...
