This is likely to accelerate the innovation of each party and establish commercial solutions much quicker.

David McKee, CTO of Bio Capital stated ‘‘We are only getting started! The development of low carbon infrastructure & sustainable fuel and products is key to delivering net zero!’

Biofuels from Biomethane play a positive role in the circular economy by contributing to a more sustainable energy system. The development and manufacture of organic fertilisers are key for EU/UK targets as they align with sustainable agriculture practice, promoting soil health, reducing environmental impact and having a massive impact on circular economy of food chains. They also contribute to soil fertility without relying on heavily synthetic chemicals.

By further developing these products, from food waste digestion in particular, it has a massive impact in terms of reducing on the reliance of traditional fossil fuels, minimises energy requirements and promotes a sustainable energy and nutrient dense alternative to traditional methods.
