Taeda Tech Project

As the Taeda Tech Project comes into the final stretch, we are pleased to invite you to this upcoming online event, the first of a short series of webinars, presenting the results of our project over the last 3 years.

Project Lead Dr Zoe M. Harris will present an overview of findings across the project, from plant trials in our purpose-built greenhouse and polytunnels environments, to socio-economic and environmental impact studies.

Taeda Tech Project is an exciting, £4m innovation project funded by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, through their Biomass Feedstocks Innovation Programme. We have created a novel aeroponic technology to rapidly grow superior Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) willow cuttings, and also early trials with other forestry crops. The goal of the funding is to enable the UK to confidently transition to cleaner energy technologies and so support efforts to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
