What backs it

Around 95,000 tonnes of salty whey are produced in the UK each year, a byproduct from cheese production that is currently classified as waste and poses environmental risks to waterways and soil. Researchers have developed a new process to convert the lactose in this salty whey into bioethanol.

Worth noting

This is early-stage research; the article does not report large-scale production or commercial deployment yet.
