As part of our work to bridge UK policymakers with pioneering climate innovators, Cleantech for UK was pleased to host Ian Murray MP, Member of Parliament for Edinburgh South and Secretary of State for Scotland, on a site visit to Carbogenics in Edinburgh.
The visit provided an opportunity to showcase Carbogenics’ cutting-edge work in biochar innovation, including a tour of their production facilities and the UK Biochar Research Centre, based at the University of Edinburgh’s King’s Buildings campus. Ian Murray MP met with the Carbogenics team to learn about their patented CreChar® and FilaChar® technologies, which turn organic and hard-to-recycle waste streams into high-value biochars for applications in anaerobic digestion, wastewater treatment, soil enhancement, and long-term carbon sequestration.
Founded in 2016, Carbogenics is an award-winning cleantech company with deep roots in Edinburgh’s research ecosystem. With a growing team of eleven, the company benefits from access to world-class testing and academic facilities through its university and industrial partners. As pressure mounts globally to deliver secure, sustainable food and energy systems, Carbogenics’ mission is to play a defining role in delivering a Net Zero Scotland—and a Net Zero world.
