Circa Renewable Chemistry Institute launches at the University of York

In the UK, to advance and promote the development and commercialisation of renewable chemistry, sustainable biochemicals company Circa Group has launched the Circa Renewable Chemistry Institute at the University of York’s Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence (GCCE) in the UK.

The Circa Renewable Chemistry Institute is a new industrial innovation hub, tasked with supporting customer and market applications for renewable chemicals, including Circa’s portfolio of bio-based products based on platform chemical levoglucosenone (LGO).

Circa’s strategy is to work with leading academic institutions to further the development of the renewable chemistry sector and demonstrate the vast potential of its novel advanced biochemicals. This ensures the continuation of important and fruitful research into applications for Cyrene™ and the development of other levoglucosenone (LGO)-based solvents.
