Celebrating 21 years
Established by the UK Government in 2003 as the National Non-Food Crops Centre, later becoming NNFCC Ltd and now evolving to Alder BioInsights.
Our initial focus on the development of the rural economy, through the development of industrial crop applications, has widened over the years to embrace climate change mitigation through biofuel and bioenergy deployment. We cover land and marine based bio-based feedstock from agriculture and forestry through to municipal and industrial wastes.
We have grown to become a leading commercial bioeconomy consultancy serving a diverse international client base.
We are proud of our heritage and maintain our position in the marketplace through membership of key trade bodies and professional organisations including Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials, International Sustainability & Carbon Certification and the West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce.
