Biorefinery Technology Scale-Up Center (BTSC)

“新布伦瑞克社区学院”正在开发一个以应用研究为重点的生物炼油厂，该炼油厂将拥有由专家工作人员操作的生产规模发酵设备，使大学研究人员和生物炼油厂和工业发酵公司能够在生产推出或许可之前扩大规模并验证其技术。这个商业化和培训中心可以在加拿大大西洋地区的生物精炼和发酵研究和技术，产品和工艺开发中发挥关键作用，该生物产业目前价值超过6000万美元，员工超过2000人。区域大学、生物能源研究机构和中小企业正在利用细菌和酵母发酵生产创新的生物基产品，如生物燃料、酶和生物可再生化学品。对于这些创新者来说，在实验室规模和利益相关者所需的全面生产之间存在能力差距，

The "Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick" is developing an applied research focused bio-refinery that will have production scale fermentation equipment manned by expert staff allowing university researchers and biorefinery and industrial fermentation companies to scale-up and validate their technologies prior to production roll-out or licensing. This commercialization and training center can play a key role in biorefinery and fermentation research and technology, product and process development in Atlantic Canada where the bioindustry is currently worth in excess of $60 million and employs over 2000 people. Regional universities, bioenergy research institutions and SMEs are using bacteria and yeast fermentation to produce innovative biobased products such as biofuels, enzymes and biorenewable chemicals. For these innovators, there exists a capacity gap between the laboratory scale and the full scale production required by stakeholders in the
