Connect with new opportunities in environmental technologies

The Heart of England has a natural advantage when it comes to environmental technologies – location. Maximising our utilisation of resources is what the business is all about and here the resources are close at hand. Companies engaged in waste to energy, like Biogen Greenfinch for example, find that they’re very close to several large urban centres producing large quantities of raw material. Meanwhile, renewables has a huge potential for growth in this region, again location being crucial to cost-effective production. Naturally, local and national government bodies are keen to encourage still greater environmental technology business into the region and various grants and incentive schemes are available.

Biogen Greenfinch

A location in Ludlow, Shropshire has played a huge part in the success of BiogenGreenfinch. The company specialises in the field of anaerobic digestion and biogas technology – producing renewable energy from waste. And it’s not only proximity to raw materials that has helped them. Access to high quality graduates and skilled workers, excellent transport connections, and a cluster of collaborative businesses in the same area have all played their part. Another key factor has been the provision of R&D grants from Advantage West Midlands, including funding for major projects like the South Shropshire Biowaste Digester.
