Integrating Renewable Energy, Material Efficiency and Industrial Processes
Since 2008, the AD industry in the UK and across the world has evolved considerably, and so too has the AD Centre.
The AD Centre delivers industry led research projects focussed on the development of biological processes that can be integrated with industrial operations such as renewable energy generation, waste and wastewater treatment, recovery processes or manufacturing processes to deliver a range of benefits such as material and economic efficiencies and reduction of environmental impacts.
We work with industry and a number of other stakeholders to develop and implement innovative solutions and to optimise existing processes. Projects range in scale from a few days of targeted research through to 3+ year collaborative research programmes, and all of our work is delivered with academic rigour.
Our broad fields of activity include:
The AD Centre was established with funding from the Welsh Government (2008-2013) and the European Regional Development Fund (2010 - 2014)
