Whiskey waste for biofuel

biotechnology-success-white

Award winning start-up company that in their process utilises a biological by-product stream as the raw material (residues from the whisky industry) to convert it into high-value chemicals for biofuel (Bio-Butanol) as a substitute for petrol and diesel. This fuel is more powerful and advanced than bioethanol, which is produced from sugarcane or corn. Clean Production: The project outcome helps to reduce the reliance on raw materials, as well as reducing the amount of waste by taking up the residues of another manufacturing process.


Technology Readiness Level: TRL 8
