SBS is looking to create sustainable oil and biomass fuel from natural resources to help in the regeneration of Ukraine.

Ukraine has suffered huge infrastructure losses affecting their power stations with a knock-on effect on industry.

One of the projects SBS is currently working on in Eastern Europe uses Fungal Enzymes to break down cellulosic biomass (wheat straw) into sugars and starches that are fermented into ethanol by yeast.

We are turning turn 250,000 tonnes of straw into 50,000 tonnes of sustainable bioethanol each year. The cellulosic ethanol can be applied as a drop-in solution for fuel blending but also offers further downstream application opportunities for sustainable aviation fuel and bio-based chemicals.

This is just one of the many ways we can support in the regeneration of the country to support its people to rebuild their lives following the ravages of war. See below for our other services.
