Development of Robust Microbial Culture that Transforms Food Waste to Biogas

Summary: Residual or waste organic materials are valuable sources of feedstocks for bioenergy production. In Asian countries, food waste is a serious problem but if the appropriate technology is applied, we can turn these waste products into energy and this can help to minimize the environmental impact of and lessen our reliance on fossil fuels. The successful biotransformation of food waste into renewable energy such as methane gas is heavily reliant on the bacteria that are catalyzing the process. In this project, we are studying the composition of a robust microbial community that can efficiently transform food waste to methane.

Technology Application: •The microbial culture can be used to seed small- or large-scale bioreactors that are designed to turn food waste to methane

Country/Region: Hong Kong
