The work will be carried out at the Biofuel Research Centre, launched at Napier several months ago, to research and develop second-generation biofuel from a diverse range of non-food crops and waste matter.
As an expert in the biological production of butanol, centre director Martin Tangney has already secured £500,000 in research funding and established the centre to act as a portal between industry, government, academia and the public.
Tangney said, “This agreement with Breeze Global is testament to the excellent headway we’re making in our research at the Biofuel Research Centre at Napier.” Breeze Global is a newly formed company set up to develop and commercialise environmental projects related to biofuel and biodegradable materials.
“This collaboration will focus on working closely with local partners in the research and development of new technologies and microbial strains related to the biological processing of local biowastes for production of biofuel,” said Tangney.
