Energy Technologies Institute
 |
The Energy Technologies Institute is a UK based company formed from global industries and the UK Government. The ETI brings together projects and partnerships that create affordable, reliable, clean energy for heat, power and transport. It bridges the gulf between laboratory proven technologies and full-scale commercially tested systems with the goal of overcoming major barriers to the deployment of low carbon energy technology. |
AFC Energy
 |
AFC Energy Plc is an AIM listed company in the London Stock Exchange working to produce low cost alkaline fuel cells for stationary power generation in the chlor alkali industries by using their by-product waste hydrogen. The company has has inhouse expertise in material science, catalyst development and system designing. |
Biotech - Green Biologics Ltd
 |
Green Biologics Limited (GBL) is an industrial biotech company based in Oxfordshire aiming to become the world’s leading supplier of advanced fermentation technologies for conversion of biomass to renewable fuels and chemicals. |
Marine Biotech - Aquapharm case study
|
Aquapharm is a leading marine biotechnology company pioneering the discovery and development of novel biochemistry isolated from the under explored biological diversity of marine microbes. |
NIBF - National Industrial Biotechnology Facility
 |
Improving Development Efficiency at the National Industrial Biotechnology Facility. The Centre for Process Innovation develops products, processes, services and businesses in the process and manufacturing sectors. Its unique portfolio of activities includes provision of services to the global business community in process innovation, consultancy and research. |
Biohydrogen Ltd
 |
Biohydrogen Limited develops low carbon, renewable technology for producing hydrogen, using bacteria to make hydrogen by fermentation of bio-mass. The greatest challenge for commercialising this method is the low efficiency of the conversion of bio-mass to hydrogen, which Biohydrogen Ltd aims to overcome through metabolic engineering. |
CoEBio3 – ‘Genes to kilos’
 |
In 2005, The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) secured £6 million of funds from The Northern Way to construct the National Industrial Biotechnology Facility (NIBF) – a pilot plant to carry out industrial biocatalytic processes. £1m was allotted to CoEBio3 to create an infrastructure at the University of Manchester and to finance the employment of key staff during 2006 and 2007. |
ARUP
