About InCrops
Our Objectives
InCrops has been developed to:
- stimulate new business activity through the commercialisation of new bio-renewable and low carbon products, from alternative and non food crop feedstock
- promote the East of England as world-class researchers in plant and crop science
- stimulate sustainable economic growth through supply chain development, market integration and product innovation
- accelerate the rate of successful technology transfer into the business and commercial environment
Low carbon objectives
InCrops has a strong commitment to low carbon economic growth. Our objectives promote:
- uptake of crop derived bio-renewable materials into low carbon supply chains and promote the use of natural and renewable products instead of fossil resources
- the development and use of bio-based products that have a low or zero carbon life cycle in their creation, manufacture, distribution and disposal
- use of plant science research to support carbon reduction and using technology transfer to stimulate the switch from fossil fuel derived products to bio-renewable low carbon products
- understanding and use of life cycle analysis (LCA) for low carbon auditing in major supply chains to validate the success of low carbon strategies
- localisation and integration of supply for raw materials into consumption based supply chains to cut GHG emissions by 50% from transport and distribution
- the use of new and clean technology that can market bio-renewable and crop based products and bi-products into supply chains from the East of England.
