Biorefinery Technology Scale-Up Center (BTSC)

新布伦瑞克大学正在开发一个专注于应用研究的生物精炼厂，该厂将拥有由专家人员操作的生产规模发酵设备，使大学研究人员、生物炼油厂和工业发酵公司能够在生产推广或许可之前扩大和验证他们的技术。这个商业化和培训中心可以在大西洋加拿大的生物精炼和发酵研究以及技术、产品和工艺开发方面发挥关键作用。目前，加拿大的生物产业价值超过6000万美元，员工超过2000人。地区性大学、生物能源研究机构和中小企业正在使用细菌和酵母发酵来生产生物燃料、酶和生物可再生化学品等创新的生物产品。对于这些创新者来说，在实验室规模和利益相关者所要求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
