Great news to round off the week as Scotland's very own Celtic Renewables smash through their minimum crowdfunding target. Celtic Renewables are driving the green chemical revolution with their patented technology which converts low value by-products & waste into high value green chemicals with the potential to replace fossil fuel derived products used in the cosmetics and cleaning industries. Just last year, Celtic Renewables opened Scotland's first biorefinery at Caledon Green in Grangemouth and are now looking to scale up their operations. Great to see them reach yet another goal and with time still left to invest, there is the potential for this to be a great funding round for them. #SRGScotland #GreenChemicals #Biotech #Cleantech
