Creating renewable resources for clean and sustainable growth
Creating renewable resources for clean and sustainable growth
Cohort 3 Bio-Boost students will work to deliver solutions to improve energy security and help deliver net zero. Water water treatment is a source of biogenic GHG emissions (e.g. CO2, CH4 and NOx); 5% of global non-CO2 GHG emissions come from waste water treatment (Li et al., 2024).
Bio-Boost will
develop strategies to limit biogenic GHG generation and capture those we can’t mitigate.
maximise the generation and recovery of biogenic CH4 as a renewable source for heat and power will be explored.
innovate in microbial electrochemistry to convert organic molecules in waster water treatment to electrical current and other energy carriers to maximise energy recovery, limit power demand and increase energy security.
The circular economy drives numerous socio-economic and environmental bene ts (Palahi et al., 2020). Bio-Boost will exploit opportunities for sustainable industrial growth and waste management; it will look to recover, recycle, reuse and repurpose resources from water water treatment.
Cohort 3 students will begin in September 2028.
