Celtic Renewables

Status: Funded

Oct 27th 2020 - Nov 26th 2020

Celtic Renewables (CR) converts residual by-products from Scottish Whisky production into high-value, low-carbon sustainable chemical and biofuel products using its patented Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation process. CR asserts that the end products, Acetone, Butanol, Ethanol & high-grade animal feed, play an important role in daily human lives. The company argues that these are potential applicants in industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food production, hygiene products & advanced sustainable biofuels. CR states that the downstream markets for ABE biochemicals would be worth over £130 billion by 2025. It aims to be a leading contender in this segment. It also endeavours to replicate its ABE technology in global markets. CR has been named the 'Most Innovative Biotech SME' in Europe. The company will use the investment to bring its first industrial-scale plant into full operation by Q1 of 2021 and capitalise on commercial opportunities.
