Biofuel Research Centre at Napier University
The Biofuel Research Centre (BfRC) at Edinburgh Napier University is the UK's first research centre dedicated to the development of sustainable biofuel. The centre undertakes research into biofuel, product analysis and provides information on biofuel to academia, government and businesses.
It looks at ways in which biofuels including biobutanol can be used in everyday life, thus reducing environmental impacts of fossil fuels. Their research involves the analysis of industrial biomass for conversion to biofuel, and research into new and sustainable sources.
Professor Martin Tangney, Director of the BfRC talks about the centre's ground-breaking projects. He also discusses what attracted him to Scotland and how the BfRC has benefited from the help of Scottish Development International (SDI) to support its international developments.
