BioCap - Bioenergy production from residual biomass through a novel integrated carbon chain pathway
The goal of BioCap project is to develop novel technologies to open underutilized biomass, so they can be used for biogas production. The University of Southern Denmark has initiated an exciting cooperation with the two best engineer faculties in Korea and will exchange researchers and ideas with a view to developing a new technology in the coming years. This new technology can be demonstrated by VCS Denmark´s wastewater treatment plant in Odense.
Novel technologies are to secure that underutilised biomass contributes to the fulfillment of the ambitious Danish and Korean energy plans. The complementary competences of the Danish and Korean research groups and industries provide a unique opportunity for realisation that the outcome of this study leads to a realisable large production of sustainable energy. The results will contribute with a core solution for the urgently needed increased cost efficient renewable energy production by increasing the amount of useful biomass sources for biogas production.
This study encompasses the integration of underutilised recalcitrant waste biomass for energy production through development of novel technologies, which transform recalcitrant to bio-digestible carbon that will be used in energy production and local waste treatment. This transnational platform comprises sequential biological aerobic pre-treatment and anaerobic digestion for biogas production. The integration of technologies in the platform will support a new pathway of conversion of a variety of waste into a valuable energy source by 1) methane production from organic waste with a new economically viable technology that open the carbon sources and 2) development of support for decisionmaking ensuring a sustainable co-processing of organic residues. This new platform will significantly contribute to the future of environmentally friendly bio-energy production in Denmark and Korea, and will be a strong support to the bio industries.
