The project will focus on utilising invasive aquatic macrophytes such as water hyacinth in combination with nutrient rich waste and immobilised microbial systems to maximise the production of biogas whilst generating clean water and recovering nutrients in low income communities, by developing innovative biotechnology solutions that promote resource efficiency and long-term sustainable services. The project will provide practical solutions for processing water hyacinth with other wastes (e.g. faecal matter, food waste) in novel bioreactors. These ought to be capable of producing affordable clean energy (as per the UN's Sustainable Development Goal # 7- a.k.a. SDG 7) with improved biogas yields and quality, and be suitable for use in cooking, refrigeration and power generation. The proposed processes of biogas production will be designed to be scaled appropriately to either urban areas (cities) and to smaller communities such as villages and schools (SDG 11). In addition, the integrated approaches will allow the potential for the recovery of valuable nutrients from the macrophyte feedstock for growing food and for the production of clean water. The integrated approaches will result in reduced emissions and health impacts associated with combustion of wood (SDG 3) and support more sustainable use of biomass resources (SDG 13). The use of aquatic macrophytes as an alternative biomass resource for energy generation can mitigate the over-reliance on firewood for cooking, thus promoting a more sustainable use of biomass resources (SDG 12). It also provides a solution to the growing problem in many African and Asian regions associated with invasive macrophytes resulting from eutrophication and pollution associated with poor sanitation and regulation of industry (SDG 6, 9 and 13). BEFWAM will support knowledge transfer from high- and mid-income countries (UK and India) to low-income countries in Africa (Uganda) and the delivery of training and supporting partnerships between stakeholders and local business.This will be effected through the application of the innovative technologies developed within the project while all stages of development are to be informed by the analysis of the social implications of energy production from macrophytes and waste. Special emphasis of the social analysis will be devoted to the gender-poverty nexus.

该项目将着重于利用侵入性的水生植物，例如水风信子，结合营养丰富的废物和固定的微生物系统，以最大程度地生产沼气的产生，同时通过开发创新的生物技术解决方案来促进资源效率和长期可持续性服务，从而在低收入社区中产生清洁水和恢复养分。该项目将为新型生物反应器中的其他废物（例如粪便，食物浪费）提供处理水风信子的实用解决方案。这些应该能够产生负担得起的清洁能源（根据联合国的可持续发展目标＃7-又名SDG 7），具有提高的沼气产量和质量，并且适合用于烹饪，制冷和发电。拟议的沼气生产过程将设计为适当地缩放到城市地区（城市）以及村庄和学校等较小的社区（SDG 11）。此外，综合方法将有可能从大型植物原料中恢复有价值的营养物质，以种植食物并生产清洁水。综合方法将导致与木材燃烧相关的排放和健康影响（SDG 3），并支持更可持续的生物量资源使用（SDG 13）。将水生大型植物用作能源产生的替代生物量资源可以减轻对木柴烹饪的过度依赖，从而促进更可持续的生物量资源使用（SDG 12）。它还为许多非洲和亚洲地区的日益增长的问题提供了解决方案，该地区与富营养化和污染相关的侵入性大型植物与行业不良和监管相关的污染（SDG 6、9和13）。 BEFWAM将支持从高收入国家（英国和印度）到非洲（乌干达）低收入国家的知识转移，并提供利益相关者与本地业务之间的培训和支持伙伴关系。这将通过在项目中发展的创新技术来实现，而在整个项目中都可以通过对能量生产的分析进行分析。社会分析的特别强调将致力于性别贫困联系。
