ADREC conducts comprehensive biomethane potential (BMP) studies to evaluate methane yields from diverse organic feedstocks. Using standardized protocols and high-throughput analytical tools, ADREC identifies synergistic co-digestion strategies and characterizes microbial community dynamics to guide the design and optimization of biogas and RNG systems at various scales. 

ADREC develops and optimizes anaerobic digestion systems that convert agricultural, food, and municipal organic wastes into methane-rich biogas for renewable natural gas (RNG), electricity, and heat generation. Research combines microbial ecology, reactor design, and system modeling to improve efficiency, stability, and scalability while advancing circular bioeconomy and greenhouse gas reduction goals. 

ADREC pioneers advanced treatment technologies that integrate biological, electrochemical, and physicochemical processes to remove contaminants and recover energy and nutrients. These decentralized and adaptive systems redefine wastewater as a renewable resource, enabling water reuse and sustainable management for agricultural, industrial, and municipal applications.

ADREC develops innovative technologies to recover nitrogen and phosphorus from organic waste and wastewater streams. Through ammonia recovery, struvite precipitation, and electrochemical concentration, these systems produce high-value fertilizers and soil amendments, enhancing nutrient circularity, improving agricultural productivity, and protecting water quality. 

ADREC advances carbon management strategies to capture and reuse carbon dioxide from waste and biogas upgrading processes. Research focuses on CO₂ methanation, microbial fixation, and material-based carbon capture to produce renewable methane and biobased products—contributing to carbon-neutral energy systems and climate resilience. 

ADREC designs next-generation systems that combine solar energy, microbial conversion, and electrochemical processes to maximize the value of organic waste. These integrated platforms enable simultaneous waste treatment, fuel generation, and nutrient recovery, offering decentralized, plug-and-play solutions for sustainable water, energy, and resource management.
