our story
Building Ireland's
bioeconomy
infrastructure
The National Biorefinery Pilot Plant (NBPP) is Ireland’s first dedicated open-access and integrated bio-based product and process scale-up facility. Located at the National Bioeconomy Campus in Lisheen, Co. Tipperary, NBPP supports the progression of bio-based innovations from lab-scale validation (TRL 4) to pilot-scale demonstration and pre-commercial deployment (TRL 8).
NBPP aids technical and financial de-risking of novel lab-scale innovations. Our suite of technical and business support helps transform lab-based research into market-ready products and processes.
Using the symbiotic three E’s of scale-up — Ecosystem, Experts and Equipment — we leverage collective experiences and create a space for industrial symbiosis and collaboration, alongside a training and upskilling hub.
