In the Microbial Conversion Technologies research group, we focus on the use of microorganisms for solving some of the great societal, environmental and technical challenges that we as a society has to deal with.
Our main focus is Power-to-X or, more specifically, Power-to-Gas technologies for the conversion of renewable electricity from wind turbines or solar cells to methane through the process of bio-methanation. The produced methane – or biomethane - can be used for production of electricity and heat, heavy transportation or further processing to renewable chemicals.
