The sugar cane industry in India supports nearly 60 million farmers and their families. The sugarcane and alliedindustries however produce significant solid and liquid waste (~100 million tons). The huge quantities of wastepose a significant challenge as well as an opportunity. The vWa (valorising waste) project aims to innovativelytransform these wastes into transportation fuels and value added chemicals.A consortium of two industries & three universities from UK and three industries & four research institutesfrom India will collaboratively develop novel technology for cost effective pre-treatment, conversion andseparations. The technologies, which will realise a step change in the state of the art, will be commercialised byleveraging consortium’s industry connect. The developed solutions will make tangible & significant beneficialimpact on wellbeing of a large population in rural India. The vWa technologies will establish Indo-UK leadershipin biofuels and biochemicals technology sector
