Invitation for a lecture "Recovery of bioenergy and bioproducts from organic waste"

We would like to invite everyone to attend a lecture given by Dr Yukesh Kannah Ravi entitled "Recovery of bioenergy and bioproducts from organic waste", which will be organized during the meeting of the Biotechnology Student Society on October 26th at 5:00 pm CET, in the lecture hall of Biotechnology Center (Krzywoustego 8).

Abstract:

Globalization and urbanization have resulted in a significant increase in worldwide energy consumption. Fossil fuels are currently employed as an efficient energy source.However, they have the drawback of releasing various pollutants into the environment. Additionally, burning fossil fuels for energy results in the emission of greenhouse gases, which has a negative impact on the climate. As a result, finding alternative renewableand low-emission fuels is critical to alleviate environmental concerns while still meeting rising energy demands. In this lecture, I will be sharingmy previous research experiences in recoveringbioenergy and bioproducts from different organic waste biomass. My lecture willmainly focuson how the pretreatment techniques play a vital role in enhancing product yieldand reducing the complexity of the hydrolysisprocess during the anaerobic digestion of biomass. In addition to this, I am more interested indiscussing the development of an integrated biorefinery system for the bioconversion of biomass to bioenergy and bioproduct recovery. In thislecture, we will be discussing integrated waste management of sugar beet pulp and food waste. Due to the following reasons. The European Union is the second largest producer of beet sugar in the world, accounting for around 50% of global production. Particularly in Poland, every year around 1.5 million tonnes of sugar beet are processed,and 0.2 million tonnes of sugar beet pulp waste isgenerated with 20% dry mass. Such huge quantities of organic waste biomass haveto be disposedofproperly. Since a cost-effective method of waste management systems is required. On the other hand, nearly 57 million tonnes of food waste are generated annually with an associated market value estimated at 130 billion euros. Here we will be interacting what are the cost-effective approachesto the management of this kind of waste biomass and the methods to recover the value-added product from waste biomass
