Advanced technology is an integral part of Scion’s work. It is using robotics technology, for example, as part of a programme to create a reliable, cost-effective propagation method to boost productivity and ensure consistent results.

Scion is also delivering sustainable solutions across biofuels, bioplastics, high-value chemicals and nutraceuticals – using waste biomass and greenhouse gases as feedstocks – and advancing research on enhanced carbon sequestration in trees and conducting world-first field trials of gene-edited conifers designed to improve forest productivity and enable future biorefinery applications.
