BCB Forestry Coproducts

It is widely recognised that significant opportunities exist to apply biotechnology to create value from co-products arising from the Scottish forestry industry. The National Plan for Industrial Biotechnology, the Biorefining Potential for Scotland, and the Forest and Timber Technologies Industry Leadership Group Roots for Further Growth strategy all identify forestry residues as critical resources and emphasise a need to focus on their valorisation.
This webinar was a collaboration with Scottish Forestry to explore opportunities to create value from Scotland's residual forestry bioresources. The webinar looked at activity overseas and research and cutting edge technology being developed in the UK which could support efforts to valorise this resource.
