项目摘要

Conventional natural gas is broadly used in electricity generation, industrial applications, and transportation. It may be substituted by RNG (Renewable Natural Gas) that is also known by the name of Biomethane. Considered a Sustainable Natural Gas, pipeline-quality RNG is the result of processed Biogas.Biogas is obtained from the transformation of organic matter. In that sense, RNG starts from biogas production, a gas that will be further purified to RNG from its original (mainly methane) composition.Our proposed feasibility study will try to increase the concentration of Methane produced by the Microbial Community in biogas generation. We believe that this could impact the economics of RNG production .If we achieve our objective, an innovation like this one could increase the sustainability status of the whole Natural Gas industry, allowing fast commercialization of our patented product.This work will be developed by CorNatural, a company that was incorporated in the UK to engineer cell factories and produce different compounds through a proprietary technology platform that combines several techniques. in partnership with the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (Adba) that aims to facilitate the anaerobic digestion (AD) industry's growth in the UK.CorNatural is motivated to help in environmental issues moving the society to adapt to a Bioeconomy future. We are specialized in synthetic biology and bioengineering that uses microorganisms or microbial communities in the synthesis of natural products. The proposed work intends to understand the impact of Methane enhancement synthesis on biogas production at the Microbial Community level.The UK Conventional Natural Gas Industry needs RNG to grow. Only a third of the Natural Gas consumed in the UK is produced here.If we increase the local availability of indigenous RNG, we will be able to help in the fight against global warming through the growth of renewable resources usage by the country.

常规天然气广泛用于发电、工业应用和交通运输。它可以被RNG（可再生天然气）所取代，RNG也被称为生物甲烷。管道质量的RNG被认为是一种可持续的天然气，是经过处理的沼气的结果。沼气是由有机物转化而来的。从这个意义上说，RNG从沼气生产开始，沼气将从其原始成分（主要是甲烷）进一步纯化为RNG。我们提出的可行性研究将尝试提高沼气生成中微生物群落产生的甲烷浓度。我们认为，这可能会影响天然气生产的经济效益。如果我们实现了我们的目标，像这样的创新可以提高整个天然气行业的可持续性，使我们的专利产品快速商业化。这项工作将由在英国注册成立的CorNatural公司开发，该公司设计细胞工厂，并通过结合多种技术的专有技术平台生产不同的化合物。与厌氧消化和生物资源协会（Adba）合作，旨在促进厌氧消化（AD）行业在英国的发展。CorNatural致力于帮助解决环境问题，推动社会适应生物经济的未来。我们专注于合成生物学和生物工程，利用微生物或微生物群落合成天然产物。本研究旨在了解微生物群落水平上甲烷强化合成对沼气产量的影响。英国传统天然气行业需要RNG的发展。英国消耗的天然气中只有三分之一是在这里生产的。如果我们增加本地可再生天然气的可用性，我们将能够通过该国可再生资源使用的增长来帮助对抗全球变暖。
