Biorenewables Development Centre

About

We are an open-access research, development and demonstration biorefining centre and a subsidiary company of the University of York. We were founded from a unique partnership between two well-established research centres at the University of York: the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence and the Centre for Novel Agricultural Products. This partnership means that we can apply technologies derived from both biology and chemistry to optimise and process biorenewable raw materials for the production of chemicals, materials and fuels. From our broad network of partnerships we can link our clients with expertise and equipment within the University of York as well as other Higher Educational institutions, both on a national and international level. We are part of the BioPilotsUK – a collaboration created by four established biorefining open-access centres who recognise the importance of partnerships to develop UK bio-based value chains. We work at the interface between academia and industry to develop, scale-up and help commercialise bio-based products and processes for the market place.
