Field of expertise:

The Environment & Resources DTU is internationally recognized for its work. Many of the department’s research activities within renewable resources, biological process engineering projects, are funded via national research programs. The Department also participates in many Nordic and EU-projects – of which researchers at the Department coordinate several.
Research in the Bio-energy group is dealing with the biological conversion of organic matter to either energy carriers such as biogas, bio-ethanol and bio-hydrogen by anaerobic biotechnological methods or to direct electricity production by microbial fuel cells. A further benefit of the technology is that the anaerobic conditions favour the degradation of xenobiotic compounds and pathogens. Research spans from fundamental work on areas such as metabolic pathways, microbial enrichments, isolations and characterisation, to more applied issues, such as process monitoring, optimization and control, reactor design and new biotechnological production concepts.

Role in the project:
DTU, will lead the Quantification of Biomass Potential, where the estimation of potential biological  feedstock will be carried out. Together with HKR, CRA, BOKU, EUBIA and EFI will develop 2 related reports.
Furthermore will be in charge of the Review of Current Research Activities for Bio-Products Production, and consequently will be responsible of the development of a related report.
