Sectors We Cover
Biorefining - Analysis of Feedstocks and Output Streams
Whether you have an existing biorefinery or are developing a technology for the conversion of biomass, the properties of the feedstock
are of key importance
in determining process yields and economics. Celignis personnel have extensive experience, over the last decade, in the detailed and precise
characterisation of biomass samples.
These data will be key in deciding which feedstocks to process or how to modify your technology so that it is optimised for your chosen feedstock.
We also are able to characterise the liquid outputs of biomass pre-treatment, hydrolysis and other conversion technologies and have a set of recommended analysis packages that will help you to get the most detailed data about the whole conversion process.

Bioprocessing Technology Development
We develop and refine processes to efficiently valorise biomass.
We can work on individual stages
of a process, or develop a bespoke
vertically-integrated technology
based on your
feedstock or desired
end-product.
This can be done at
lab-scale up to the
100-litre level.
Our in-depth understanding of biomass chemistry, our extensive array of bioprocessing equipment, and the
biological, engineering, and commercial experience of our Bioprocess Team,
all play crucial roles in ensuring that
our projects are well-designed and focused on our clients' end-goals. Click

Farmers and Biomass Traders
Individuals and organisations that are growing or trading biomass feedstocks for the production of biofuels,
chemicals, or energy have vital need for accurate compositional data on their resources. Celignis can provide such data in a rapid turnaround
and has experience in the analysis of a wide range of biomass types.
Biochar
We deliver cutting-edge analysis and consultation services tailored to the
biochar sector. Our comprehensive expertise covers
feedstock characterisation,
process optimisation,
biochar properties (
physical, chemical, and
thermal),
biochar upgrading,
application testing (e.g. for
carbon sequestration and
plant growth) and
project development, ensuring a seamless and impactful journey towards
sustainable solutions. We recognize that understanding and valorising biochar demands
in-depth knowledge and experience - and that's exactly what we bring to the table.
Scientific Researchers
At Celignis we have access to an array of state of the art analytical equipment and our
personnel have also carefully refined our analysis methods over the last 10 years to ensure that
our data are as accurate and precise as possible. There is huge scientific interest in the utilisation of biomass but many research groups may not
have the capability to characterise samples to the same level of quality as Celignis. Our services are therefore of great value in
providing the best analytical data to biomass researchers.
Waste Producers and Handlers
Significant quantities of biodegradable waste (such as the organic fraction of municipal solid waste,
and waste papers/cardboards) are produced by households and industry. Many governments have targets to
reduce the amount of biodegradable waste that is sent to landfill. Our analysis packages can help producers and handlers of organic waste
determine the best end use for this resource. Accurate compositional analysis is particularly important for waste biomass since its composition
can vary substantially dependng on local conditions and the time of year.
Seaweed
Our expertise with chromatography has allowed us to develop
protocols for determining the
carbohydrate, vitamin, pigments, and amino acids composition of seaweeds.

Our History
Start-Up
In 2014 Celignis was spun-out from the Carbolea Biomass Research Group at the
University of Limerick (UL), Ireland. Prior to that Celignis was only a concept, a business plan submitted as a deliverable for
DIBANET, UL's advanced biofuels research project written and coodinated by founder Dan Hayes. The target was commercialisation of the analytical IP
developed in the project, specifically the highly accurate and precise wet-chemical protocols for the analysis of biomass as well as the unique near infrared models that could allow for properties relevant to the production of
second-generation biofuels to be predicted much more rapidly.
From his market research Dan concluded that there was a clear demand for a new kind of analytical laboratory. One focused on the needs and opportunities of the growing bioeconomy. A company run by biomass experts, capable of interpreting as well as providing data, and fuelled by a passion to provide sustainable solutions to the modern economy. As a result Celignis was born.

Growth and Recognition
For the first few years Celignis was located in an incubation centre at the University of Limerick. During that period the company expanded it's portfolio of analytical services beyond only
the lignocellulosic biorefining sector to also cover other important sectors of the bioeconomy including: anaerobic digestion, combustion,
seaweed, fermentation, and the
application of enzymes.
Such an expansion in our capabilities was possible as a result of the diverse array of talent brought into the company.

We continued to grow our client base, which, as of June 2023, spans over 1000 organisations and includes start-ups, multinationals, and world-leading universities. They recognise the expertise that we have with regards to biomass composition and
its relevance in designing and optimising biomass conversion processes. Over time we have grown to be recognised as the premier analytical provider for the bioeconomy. We have also got involved in a number of high-level research projects, focused on advancing the state of the art
in biomass valorisation, many of these being funded by the Biomass Based Industries Joint Undertaking.
Major Expansion
In 2018 we relocated to our own dedicated premises in Limerick. It gave us over
five times the space of our previous lab and has allowed us to undertake a major expansion of our
personnel, equipment, and offerings to
stakeholders in the bioeconomy. Such additional services included: a wide range of analyses and bioprocess
development services for clients in the anaerobic digestion sector; an extensive suite
of services for biochar characterisation and evaluation; and
Bioprocess Development Services
covering many of the key stages of biomass conversion (e.g.
enzymatic hydrolysis,
fermentation etc.)
Since our relocation we also began to participate in many more collaborative research projects, such as those funded by the European Union's CBE-JU programme.

Celignis Bioprocess
In 2022 Celignis moved into an additional premises, Celignis Bioprocess,
located nearby in Limerick. This facility doubled the company's
available lab-space, which was quickly occupied with a wide array of bioprocessing equipment covering all aspects of
biomass conversion (extraction,
pretreatment,
hydrolysis, chemical/catalytic conversion,
downstream processing, and
product recovery) at
lab-scale and
pilot-scale levels. This massive expansion in our capabilities allowed us to develop
Celignis Bioprocess as a comprehensive solution for clients looking to
develop a new bioprocess
or optimise an existing one.

Our Beliefs
During his time as a PhD and post-doctoral researcher in the biomass sector, Celignis founder Dan Hayes found that feedstock composition was crucial, but that literature data
could be highly misleading. There was a critical need for accurate analysis.
We are driven to provide the best possible data and want to play our part in the development of the bioeconomy. We pride ourselves on the quality of our analytical methods and data. These have been in development for over 15 years and are now highly refined for the detailed characterisation of biomass samples and the products of biomass conversion.

These have been in development for over 15 years and are now highly refined for the detailed characterisation of biomass samples and the products of biomass conversion.
The name "Celignis" is derived from combining the words "Cellulose", "Lignin",
and "Ignis" (Latin for fire). We believe that biomass can play an important role in the production of fuels, chemicals and energy in the future and will help to lessen our
reliance on the use of fossil fuels in these sectors.
The Celignis logo reflects the main constituents of lignocellulosic biomass: cellulose,
hemicellulose, and lignin.
We believe there is no such thing as a "waste", just wasted opportunities. Our multidsciplinary team has the expertise to develop strategies to sustainably valorise a wide range of biomass feedstocks.
We are also constantly working on ways to further improve our service and to expand the range of biomass properties that we can determine. If you have interests that are not currently listed on our website then please get in touch with us and we can consider how best to meet your needs.
