Ambitious government targets to increase the security of energy supply and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will drive growth in the bioenergy, energy-from-waste, energy systems and bioproducts sectors over the next ten years.
According to the Committee on Climate Change, bioenergy alone could provide up to 15% of UK energy demand in a low carbon economy by 2050.
It is now the largest contributing renewable technology in the UK, providing 7.4% of primary energy supply.
EBRI offers expert support to businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint, diversify into new markets with sustainable products, or collaborate to develop new technologies.
Business opportunities – industry partnerships
The growth of these sectors is forecast to generate a wealth of opportunities in the UK including design, construction, new business technologies and supply chain.
Organisations of any size and industry sector can benefit from being involved.
The Energy & Bioproducts Research Institute (EBRI) at Aston University is leading in the challenge to share knowledge and support collaboration with companies in across the UK, Europe and beyond.
