Centre

The Biorenewables Development Centre (BDC) is a leading open-access research,

development, and demonstration (RD&D) facility. We are a subsidiary company of the University of York and built on the combined expertise of two world-class research centres: the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence and the Centre for Novel Agricultural Products.

The BDC sits at the interface between academia and industry, offering clients access to a broad network of partnerships, pilot-scale processing capabilities, and a team of multi-disciplinary experts including biologists, chemists, and innovation advisors. Their services include scaling up laboratory processes, market research analysis, regulatory guidance, and business development support, all aimed at helping clients bring their bio-based products and processes to market.
