BioYorkshire

BioYorkshire will deliver a bold new green agenda to create jobs, boost the regional economy – and develop sustainable solutions for some of the UK’s most pressing environmental challenges.

Led by the University of York, Askham Bryan College and Fera Science, the project will harness scientific expertise to develop bio-based supplies of fuel, chemicals and materials. It will also work with the region’s farmers and agricultural industries to drive innovation while enabling more productive and sustainable crop production and land use.

The project will also support North Yorkshire’s ambitions to become one of the first areas in the UK to be carbon negative.
