2021 – We begin to share the benefit of our expertise and experience, launching consultancy services for businesses looking to set up new AD facilities, as well as existing AD turnaround.
2022 – Ixora work in partnership with universities, researchers, local authorities, and businesses to explore the untapped potential of AD. Recent initiatives include hydrogen production, smart grids, district heating networks, and shellfish farming. We look forward to developing these ideas into full-scale trials throughout 2023.
