WELCOME TO THE NNFCC WEBSITE

NNFCC stands for The National Non-Food Crops Centre. We are the UK's national centre for renewable fuels, materials and technologies, based in York.

• We help to introduce renewable fuels and materials into the marketplace

• We provide independent information and advice to agriculture, academia, Government, industry, the media and the public

We work to build supply chains for products made from plants.  For these supply chains to succeed, we link up different companies at all stages; from growing the crops, through manufacturing the products to selling them for us to buy and use.

Different people need different information and advice. So our website is arranged as a supply chain: from crops, through manufacturers to consumers. You can explore our site by clicking one of the three icons below which is most relevant to you:

We also have a growing range of resources to help with research, school projects or science and geography homework. Check out our Discover! pages for games, stories and activities. Play the carbon footprint game.
