Methane (biogas) has a large role to play in meeting the energy needs of the human race globally whilst reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Microbial communities are responsible for biogas production from non-renewable (coal) and renewable (food waste) resources. This project seeks to: increase biogas yields by redirecting electron flow towards biogas producing microbes using electrochemically active phenazines; understand the molecular mechanism by which phenazines increase biogas yields; and, assess the environmental consequence of phenazine application to coal seam gas production and anaerobic digestion of food waste. Phenazines are likely to emerge as a safe and cost-effective technology for improved biogas generation.

甲烷（沼气）在满足全球人类的能源需求方面发挥着重要作用，同时减少温室气体排放。微生物群落负责从不可再生（煤）和可再生（食物垃圾）资源中生产沼气。该项目旨在：通过使用电化学活性吩嗪将电子流重定向到产生生物气的微生物来增加生物气产量;了解吩嗪增加生物气产量的分子机制;以及评估吩嗪应用于煤层气生产和食物垃圾厌氧消化的环境后果。吩嗪很可能成为一种安全和具有成本效益的技术，用于改善沼气生产。
