The document provides information about bioenergy in the East of England region. It discusses the InCrops Enterprise Hub, which supports over 270 regional businesses in developing low-carbon innovation through providing specialist support and facilitating industry-academia collaborations. It also summarizes two key projects in the region: the HOOCH project which focuses on producing bioalcohols from lignocellulosic residues, and the UEA Biomass Gasifier which is a CHP unit capable of generating electricity and heat from woodchips.

Opening up new circular economy trade opportunities: Options for collaboratio...GreenAllianceUK
On Monday 2nd March the Circular Economy Task Force co-hosted a conference with the Dutch Embassy in London on how to promote the trade in circular economy goods and services between the UK and the Netherlands. The Dutch ambassador Laetitia van den Assum welcomed an expert group of business, policy and academia representatives to a discussion organised around three issues: how policy can support a circular economy, how to deliver a ‘North Sea Resource Roundabout’, and what are the circular economy opportunities for plastics?
Mike Lynch from RBS Workplace Services provided an insight into how the bank has used the Go Green themes to frame their engagement with their supply chain and how they are supporting sustainable innovations in the region.

The Bioeconomy Cluster Builder (BCB) webinar was an opportunity to share your feedback around possibilities and barriers to success experienced across the bioeconomy community, but also to hear first-hand about our plans to help you address these. We expanded upon the common themes identified in each area of biomass utilisation: issues around poor connectivity across the supply chain; difficulties building projects that bring together appropriate stakeholders including producers, academics, technology providers and customers; and challenges associated with scaling up processes.
The Bioeconomy Cluster Builder (BCB) project is a joint enterprise between KTN, IBioIC, and Scottish Enterprise to introduce biotechnology solutions to new markets and grow the bioeconomy in Scotland. The BCB Project is funded through ERDF. Find out more here: https://www.bioeconomybuilder.com/.
