Securing a resilient and sustainable domestic supply chain
Every year, gigatons of agricultural, forestry, and industrial residues are discarded. These waste streams are rich in lignin, nature’s largest source of valuable aromatic compounds that are otherwise difficult to produce.
The Fleetwood program aims to harness this untapped potential by funding the development of novel technologies that can convert these abundant, renewable resources into high-value chemicals, securing a resilient and sustainable domestic supply chain for the chemical manufacturing industry.
