This is a piece of beautiful paper extending the application of pyrochar from bioenergy to biorefinery. Pyrochar was successfully applied to significantly improve the production of n-caproate due to its relatively high electrical conductivity and surface redox groups.

The #bioeconomy work (funded by @EPAIreland) explores pyrochar mediated chain elongation to enhance n-caproate production
The worst thing you write is better than the best thing you didn't write.
Just get something down on paper. Then you can improve on it. Keeping it all in your head is no good. You need to write it down. #PhDchat#ECRchat#postdoc#PhDforum#AcademicTwitter
Really proud of Benteng Wu who defended his PhD thesis "Production of biofuels in a circular cascading bio-based energy system" in the @MaREIcentre@eriucc@UCCResearch.

Thanks to funders @EPAResearchNews @scienceirel
An honour to present Benteng Wu with a @MaREIcentre excellence in research award. Benteng will defend his PhD thesis (funded by @EPAResearchNews ) `Production of Biofuels in a Circular Cascading Bio-based Energy System' in June.

This is probably the most important figure in the new IPCC WG3 report. We need to accelerate the deployment of mature clean energy technologies and behavioral shifts this decade even as we work to develop the technologies we will need for the next few:
This report expounds on the role of #biomethane in #circulareconomy systems. When published (Jan 2022) we had no idea how critical security of supply and substitution of natural gas would be. Biomethane now cheaper that natural gas! We now have an #energycrisis & #ClimateCrisis
Latest @MaREIcentre paper on #biorefinery#microalgae#biomethane published in Chemical Engineering Journal (IF 13.273) led by @ArchishmanBose examines the optimisation of photosynthetic biogas upgrading using the response surface methodology (RSM)

@IEABioenergy 2021 Newsletter with a focus on Task 37 #biogas#energy which synthesises two reports:
1. The role of anaerobic digestion & biogas in agriculture
2. The role of anaerobic digestion, biogas & renewable gas in decarbonised energy systems

"The role of bioenergy in net zero scenarios is substantial – up to 20% of total energy supply in 2050 at the global level, based on realistic sustainable biomass potentials".

A new year at old home office desk. Didn’t dream in March 2020 would be still working here in Jan 2022. A new @IEABioenergy report to edit & polish: “Perspectives on biomethane as a transport fuel within a circular economy, energy, and environmental system”.
