Aberystwyth University – IBERS
About this exhibitor
The Biorefining Centre at IBERS, Aberystwyth University, is at the forefront of sustainable bio-based innovation, bridging the gap between fundamental research and industrial application. Our expertise spans Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 1-5, supporting projects from concept through to pilot-scale development at state-of-the-art facilities such as BEACON and AberInnovation.
Our research focuses on enabling technologies and bio-process design, with key capabilities in:
- Synthetic biology – enzyme & microbial discovery and development (TRL 1-3)
- Separation & extraction – bulk separation technologies (TRL 2-5)
- Biomass processing – thermochemical & biochemical pretreatment (TRL 2-5)
- Fermentation science – bioconversion of feedstocks (TRL 2-5)
- Anaerobic digestion – bioenergy and waste valorisation (TRL 1-3)
- Downstream processing – purification and product recovery (TRL 2-5)
We work with diverse feedstocks, from energy crops and agricultural residues to seaweed and municipal waste, developing bio-based solutions for health food, cosmetics, green solvents, biocomposites, bioenergy, and bioplastics/packaging industries.
