Who we are

About Great British Chemicals

Great British Chemicals is a National Research & Innovation Centre for Sustainable Industrial Futures. Funded by EPSRC-NERC the centre will unite the UK chemical industry, academic researchers and policy makers to advance innovative, scalable and sustainable technology solutions for defossilising chemicals manufacturing. We aim to create people-focussed opportunities to truly shape sustainable carbon management.

Our team

We have brought together a Core Team of transdisciplinary experts from the 10 founding UK universities. We apply a systems approach to accelerate, scale up and deploy world-leading laboratory research by linking with Social Sciences, Environmental Science, Economics, and Policy.

Our partners

Partnership is central to every part of the programme. From the outset, we’ve involved businesses, policymakers, communities, and the third sector to help shape our plans.

Our funders

The Great British Chemicals programme is a flagship investment (£18 million over seven years) in Sustainable Industrial Futures funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).
