Enzyme Supplies and Celtic Renewables Announce Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Sustainable Green Chemical Production
[London, UK – October 8, 2025] – Enzyme Supplies Ltd., a leading provider of industrial enzyme solutions, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Celtic Renewables Ltd., a pioneer in low-carbon technology. This strategic collaboration brings together Enzyme Supplies’ cutting-edge enzyme formulations with Celtic Renewables’ award-winning bio-refining process, producing bio-based chemicals from by-products and waste.
At the core of this partnership is Enzyme Supplies’ tailored enzymatic solutions, which are now being integrated into Celtic Renewables’ patented acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation process. This innovation significantly enhances the breakdown of complex organic feedstocks – including by-products from the whisky industry – into fermentable sugars, enabling more efficient and scalable production of green chemicals .
Dr. Jonathan R. Burns, Technical Director at Enzyme Supplies, commented:
“Our enzymes are designed to optimise the bioconversion of bio-based feedstocks, and partnering with Celtic Renewables is a natural fit. Their unique circular economy model and commitment to sustainable innovation aligns perfectly with our mission. Together, we’re enabling a cleaner, greener future.”
Lorna Woodcock, Head of Research, Technical & Innovation Celtic Renewables, said:
“This collaboration is a major step forward in commercialising our technology at scale. By harnessing the power of Enzyme Supplies’ biocatalysts, we’re able to increase yields, reduce processing times, and expand the range of waste and by-product materials we can valorise. It’s a win-win for innovation and the environment.”
The enhanced process not only improves carbon savings but also reduces reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to the UK’s and EU’s net-zero goals. The partnership is already being piloted at Celtic Renewables’ bio-refinery facility in Grangemouth, with plans to expand the integrated solution across future plants.
