Discover the Project
Dr. Zoe Harris, Project Lead:
“ We are confident that our soilless cultivation method can play a role in helping the UK build a greener energy mix, with biomass energy at the centre of that strategy. At the Centre for Environment and Sustainability, nursing the planet back to health is a key priority, and we believe biomass will be key to reaching our global energy and climate targets. ”
