Valorisation of waste gases using gas fermenting microbes
Reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions is essential for mitigating climate change.
Many anthropogenic waste streams, such as biogas, landfill emissions, and industrial effluents from the oil, gas, and mining sectors, are rich in the greenhouse gases methane and carbon dioxide. The valorisation of these waste streams into sustainable fuels, foods, feeds, and chemicals can be achieved through biotechnological conversion processes.
Both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms offer promising pathways for transforming waste gases into valuable products.
This PhD scholarship will support research projects employing gas‑fermenting microorganisms. Potential research topics include bioprocess design and optimisation, bioprocess scale‑up, multi-omics and systems biology, and computational and process modelling.
