Celtic Renewables Enhances Green Chemical Production with Enzyme Supplies Partnership
- Celtic Renewables integrates Enzyme Supplies' solutions into its ABE fermentation process.
- The process enhances breakdown of organic feedstocks into fermentable sugars.
- The partnership supports UK and EU net-zero goals and reduces fossil fuel reliance.
- The solution is piloted at Celtic Renewables' Grangemouth facility with expansion plans.
Partnership Overview
Celtic Renewables has partnered with Enzyme Supplies Ltd. to enhance its bio-refining process. This collaboration combines Enzyme Supplies' enzyme formulations with Celtic Renewables' acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation process.
Process Enhancement
The integration of tailored enzymatic solutions improves the breakdown of complex organic feedstocks, such as whisky industry by-products, into fermentable sugars. This advancement enables more efficient and scalable production of bio-based chemicals.
Environmental Impact
The enhanced process contributes to carbon savings and reduces reliance on fossil fuels, aligning with the UK and EU's net-zero goals. The partnership is currently being piloted at Celtic Renewables' bio-refinery facility in Grangemouth.
Future Plans
There are plans to expand the integrated solution across future plants, further supporting sustainable chemical production.
