The project aims to convert waste biomass into valuable feedstocks and fuel. Nature's own toolbox will be used to break up lignocellulose under mild conditions in order to make it accessible to synthetic processing. Light-driven oxidation of fungus-treated biomass will give valuable oxidation products (e.g. formate) that will accumulate in the solution until the concentration is high enough for an economical collection, whereas hydrogen gas formed simultaneously by reduction of water is easily collected without additional energy input. Independent study of the two half-reactions into biomass oxidation and hydrogen evolution will enable an optimisation of their rates and efficiencies as well as improve product collection. This also allows other feed configurations to be considered.

该项目旨在将废弃生物质转化为有价值的原料和燃料。大自然自己的工具箱将用于在温和条件下分解木质纤维素，以便使其能够进行合成加工。真菌处理的生物质的光驱动氧化将产生有价值的氧化产物（例如甲酸盐），其将在溶液中积累直到浓度足够高以进行经济的收集，而通过水的还原同时形成的氢气容易收集而无需额外的能量输入。对生物质氧化和析氢的两个半反应的独立研究将能够优化其速率和效率，并改善产物收集。这也允许考虑其他进料配置。
