EBRI is being funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to
develop a new centre of excellent in Bioenergy technologies and a focal
point for supporting regional business with technology transfer and
growth opportunities.
The multimillion pound project is creating new
dedicated industrial research facilities and a unique industrial scale
power generation plant which will demonstrate the practical nature of
Aston technology by supplying power and heat for use on the campus.
The EBRI project is working with regional businesses
to help them realise opportunities from a new high growth sector as well
as working at the forefront of international research.
Delivering Local Bioenergy to North West Europe
EBRI is leading an ambitious international project to promote the wider
adoption of bioenergy in regions of North West Europe to reduce carbon
emissions, increase energy security and employment opportunities.
The project is demonstrating the economic viability of power generation
from urban and rural waste and how technologies can be used with
anaerobic digestion and difficult to manage waste streams.
The project is addressing the issues of regulatory and financial
barriers, using different types of waste as fuel, planning and
logistics.
The Project is supported by the Interreg IVB Northwest Europe Programme.
EBRI is also involved in the following research projects:
