Nova Biochem is on a mission to revolutionise the chemicals industry with their groundbreaking platform that uses waste from the agriculture and paper industries to produce bio-based molecules. Lignin, a plant-derived polymer, is the only renewable source of valuable aromatic chemicals that are currently only obtainable from crude oil. Currently lignin is being burned and land-filled releasing \>20 giga-tons/year of CO2\.Nova's innovative technology has the potential to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and create a renewable source of important molecules for multiple industries. Led by cleantech/engineering entrepreneurs with a proven track record, Nova Biochem is poised to enter the market in 2027 with their Pilot Plant, annually processing 5,000 tons of lignin, substituting chemicals otherwise obtained from 110,000 barrels of crude, while saving 40,000 tons CO2 emissions moving closer to UK's target of Net-Zero by 2050\.If proven successful within this project, Nova's technology can add 38% of profit to UK paper industry and create 2,500 jobs.

Nova Biochem的使命是通过其开创性的平台彻底改变化学品行业，该平台使用农业和造纸工业的废物来生产生物基分子。木质素是一种植物来源的聚合物，是目前只能从原油中获得的有价值的芳香族化学品的唯一可再生来源。目前，木质素被燃烧和填埋，每年释放超过20千兆吨的二氧化碳。Nova的创新技术有可能显著减少二氧化碳排放，并为多个行业创造重要分子的可再生来源。Nova Biochem由拥有良好业绩记录的清洁技术/工程企业家领导，准备于2027年通过中试工厂进入市场，每年加工5，000吨木质素，替代从110，000桶原油中获得的化学品，同时节省40美元，如果在该项目中证明成功，Nova的技术可以为英国造纸行业增加38%的利润，并创造2，500个就业机会。
