Aston University has been awarded £1.8 million to develop innovative technology that converts organic materials—such as sawdust, fallen and diseased trees, dried chicken manure, and agricultural straw—into commercially valuable bioproducts. This eco-friendly initiative focuses on producing low-carbon outputs including gas, liquids, and biochar, that can enhance soil and plant growth. By establishing a regional industrial cluster to produce these goods, the project could generate £200 million in commercial opportunities and create hundreds of new jobs in the West Midlands.
