The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council is putting £3.5 million into a new "research hub" that will investigate the efficiency and whole-life impact of a variety of bioenergy techniques and accelerate the deployment of sustainable bioenergy. The Supergen Bioenergy Hub spans six research institutions and involves 10 industrial partners. It started work this month under the direction of Dr Patricia Thornley of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Manchester. Initially the hub will address 10 research projects ranging from turning biomass into transport fuels to capturing carbon dioxide from burning biomass feedstocks.
