This project aims to develop a suite of leading-edge biotechnology solutions to enable the cost-effective production of liquid chemicals from biogas. This will create a much stronger economic driver for biogas production from organic wastes, by significantly increasing the value of biogas compared to its current use for power generation. With a multi-disciplinary approach, the project will substantially advance the fundamental science in the exciting and highly valuable area of anaerobic microbial conversion of methane, the least understood process in the global carbon cycle. This transformational research has a strong potential to create a new biotechnology sector producing high-value chemicals from methane, and will propel Australia to the forefront of sustainable resources research.

该项目旨在开发一套领先的生物技术解决方案，以实现从沼气中经济高效地生产液体化学品。这将为从有机废物中生产沼气创造更强大的经济驱动力，与目前用于发电相比，大大增加了沼气的价值。通过多学科方法，该项目将大大推进甲烷厌氧微生物转化这一令人兴奋和极具价值的领域的基础科学，这是全球碳循环中最不了解的过程。这项变革性的研究具有强大的潜力，可以创造一个新的生物技术部门，从甲烷中生产高价值的化学品，并将推动澳大利亚走在可持续资源研究的最前沿。
