- Investigation of a novel biofilm based hydrogenotrophic process that delivers enhanced methane due to increased microbial densities in reactors with very low energy input compared to liquid systems. Contributed to PCT applications in US-EU-AU No. 15831226.4. Led to further collaborative projects, BEIS (CR201) £795k with 2 industrial partners, WG-SMART-CIRCLE-WP3 £300k-grant, >£300k-partner contribution for a demonstrator at a UK electro-steel works (mark.cichuta@tatasteel.com). Results fed into a spin out at business-plan (under development). Contributed to >£500k investment at NiTech Solutions (will.barton@nitechsolutions.co.uk) and to work nominated as a finalist in BBSRC Innovator of the Year Award 2019.
