The Supergen Bioenergy Hub works with multi-sector stakeholders to develop sustainable bioenergy systems that support the UK’s transition to an affordable, resilient, low-carbon future. Our research aims to identify pathways for delivering bioenergy with wider social, economic and environmental benefits.
Incubating new research concepts
We support innovation by encouraging recognition among researchers of their work’s practical and commercial potential with a feedback loop from pilot plant and commercial learning to enhance research activity.
Research at UK universities will generate new knowledge and insights in sustainable bioenergy, and we will incubate UK science to deliver its commercial potential.
Six of our research projects focus on novel technology development that could significantly impact UK energy system sustainability.
Diffusing our knowledge
We work with researchers to ensure their knowledge is diffused across the innovation community for wider benefit.
We support effective learning and efficient knowledge transfer across the sector, extracting and diffusing underpinning knowledge to move from demonstration to deployment.
Six of our research projects provide cross-cutting information to support bioenergy deployment and advance sustainability performance.
Fostering an enabling environment for sustainable bioenergy deployment
We work closely with policymakers to ensure appropriate mechanisms are developed for efficient technology support.
We aim to address issues of public trust and transparency surrounding the use of biomass and bioenergy.
We engage with key stakeholders across academia, industry, policy and the public to share and exchange knowledge to support the development of sustainable bioenergy systems.
Technology demonstration projects
Each of these projects focuses on novel technology development that could significantly impact UK energy system sustainability.
Cross-cutting projects
These projects aim to provide cross-cutting information to advance sustainability performance.
Supergen Bioenergy Hub flexible funding research projects
The Hub delivers a diverse range of bioenergy research projects from fundamental science to engineering challenges, social responses to technologies, economic context and policy development.
Outputs from all of our core and funded research projects, including those from previous phases of the hub, can be found in the Outputs section.
