SYNBIOGAS

SYNBIOGAS consortium is an academic-industry partnership that will integrate diverse and cutting-edge technological, analytical, engineering, and computational approaches for characterization of the landfill biomass-degrading microbiome. Microbial isolations, DNA sequencing, enzyme characterization and computational modelling of landfill microbial biomass-conversion processes will inform the design and validation of optimized synthetic landfill microbiomes (SLMs) for enhanced waste biomass-conversion in AD plants and landfill sites, and to develop applications of the SLM that can be readily adopted by industry. Engineering biomass-degrading microbiomes is a new research frontier with many novel applications, including bioaugmentation and optimization of biomass conversion in AD and landfill systems towards an enhanced bio-based economy for waste management, environmental protection, and sustainable intensification of renewable energy generation.
