The group conducts research on biogas production from various biomass sources including bio-waste. Moreover, the team focuses on downstream processes such separation of methane or hydrogen, etc. Composting processes aim at the most efficient recycling of organic matter into the soil. Problematic waste, such as sludge from sewage treatment plants, should also be used. Anaerobic digestion aims at the same goal in the efficient production of biogas. For example, the organic fraction of municipal waste should also be processed. Dark fermentation is currently the most promising biochemical method for hydrogen production. Membrane processes make it possible to efficiently separate methane or hydrogen from biogas.
