Description

Advancing Gas Fermentation: Biological Solutions for a Net-Zero Future. Australia urgently needs innovative decarbonisation solutions to achieve its net zero emissions targets. Gas fermentation, which uses microorganisms to convert greenhouse gases into useful products, offers a sustainable solution for industries transitioning to net zero. This project aims to advance the field of gas fermentation by developing an integrated microbial synthetic consortium that co-consumes methane and CO2 from biogas and converts them into animal feeds. Successful completion will deliver a complete fish meal replacement for sustainable aquaculture, provide bioconversion technologies for the gas industry, and help Australia achieve its net-zero emissions goals while facilitating the transition to a strong bioeconomy. . Scheme: Mid-Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 3106 - Industrial Biotechnology. Lead: Prof Esteban Marcellin
