- One of the first papers to report acclimatisation of an anaerobic consortium to marine salt concentrations and sustainably and continuously digest feedstock. This work enabled the FP7 All Gas project to digest saltwater contaminated algae on an industrial scale (€11.7M, 1982/2006/EC), whilst enabling continued research into the digestion of marine macroalgae through multiple international institutions (Salam et al., Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 65, 1179-1198, 2016; Wall et al., Bioresource Technology, 243, 1207-1215, 2017; Maneein, et al., Fermentation, 4, 100, 2018). This work has laid the foundations to commercially digest high salt content feedstocks for biofuel at scale (See: http://www.all-gas.eu/en/).
