Irish grass biorefinery puts the value chain on a working farm
2026 Q3 retrospective · 1 September 2026
Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking reported the inauguration of a demonstration-scale grass biorefinery at Farm Zero C near Bandon. Ireland funded the €3 million infrastructure and the European Rural BioReFarmeries project supports testing. The site separates grass into fibre-rich and liquid streams. Operating data across seasons and assessments of individual products are the evidence to follow.
