The increasing global energy demand and negative environmental effects of fossil on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change has led to the adoption of policies and strategies towards sustainable and renewable energy production. Thus, there is a need for research and development on all potential sustainable energy production pathways including energy production from biomass, either in search of new alternative sources of biomass or energy production routes. Bio-hydrogen and Bio-methane production are two promising alternatives, which have been included in the list prioritized energy production options in many countries including Canada. Organic waste could be used as the biomass feedstock, which offers a low-cost feedstock and a sustainable solid waste management approach to divert organic waste from landfilling. The long-term objective of the research is the "Production of Renewable Energy/Bioenergy in the context of Sustainable Development and Climate-Neutral Approach". There are three laboratory projects included. These are: Project 1, enhanced biogas production from poultry manure by a novel post-hydrolysis approach in a continuous two-stage anaerobic digestion process; Project 2, assessing the feasibility and optimization of bio-hydrogen/bio-methane production from organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW); and Project 3, enhancing bio-hydrogen production from poultry manure using co-fermentation with OFMSW. Research Impact: Production of clean and renewable energy from biomass is of particular and increasing interest. Under the current circumstance, worldwide ongoing research on hydrogen generation and storage is intensive. There has been significant development for bioenergy production from energy crops over the last decade; however, there is a conflict and competition between cultivation for energy crops and food crops. This research will help to assess the possibility of widening the range of the biomass sources to include PM and OFMSW as feedstock for bioenergy production by mitigating the technical and practical challenges through cost-effective stripping of ammonia, single- and two- stage fermentation process, combined dark/photo fermentation, combined dark-fermentation/methane production, and co-fermentation of OFMSW and PM. This would help to implement AD and fermentation processes in the meat production industry and agricultural wastes worldwide, opening a multi-billion-dollar market. The results will also help Canada to reach a climate-neutral state in the future by adopting production of sustainable and renewable energy. In addition to economic and environmental benefits to Canada, it will offer a management option to the agricultural sector. The results will have significant contribution to advance the knowledge in the field and provide opportunity to train a 3HQPs.

化石对温室气体排放和气候变化的全球能源需求和负面环境影响不断增长，导致采用了可持续和可再生能源生产的政策和战略。因此，需要在所有潜在的可持续能源生产途径（包括生物质的能源生产）上进行研究和开发，以寻求新的生物质或能源生产途径。生物氢和生物甲烷生产是两个有前途的替代方案，在包括加拿大在内的许多国家中，已将其包括在清单中。有机废物可以用作生物质原料，它提供了低成本原料和可持续的固体废物管理方法，可将有机废物从垃圾填埋中转移。该研究的长期目标是“在可持续发展和气候中性方法的背景下生产可再生能源/生物能源”。包括三个实验室项目。这些是：项目1，在连续两阶段的厌氧消化过程中通过一种新型的水解方法从家禽粪便增强的沼气生产；项目2，评估来自市政固体废物的有机分数（OFMSW）的生物氢/生物甲烷生产的可行性和优化；和项目3，通过与OFMSW共同发酵从家禽肥料中增强生物氢生产。 研究影响：生物量的清洁和可再生能源的产生尤其是兴趣。在目前的情况下，全世界正在进行的关于氢生成和存储的研究是密集的。在过去的十年中，能源作物的生物能源生产有重大发展。但是，能源作物和粮食作物种植之间存在冲突和竞争。这项研究将有助于评估扩大生物量来源范围的可能性，包括PM和OFMSW作为生物能源生产的原料，通过通过氨，单阶段和两级发酵过程来缓解技术和实践挑战，从而减轻技术和实践挑战，并结合了黑暗/照片，黑暗/摄影，黑暗的甲基化/甲基甲烷生产和Co-Swertation and Co-Swersation和Pps。这将有助于实施全球肉类生产行业和农业废物中的广告和发酵过程，开放数十亿美元的市场。结果还将通过采用可持续和可再生能源的生产来帮助加拿大未来达到气候中立状态。除了对加拿大的经济和环境利益外，它将为农业部门提供管理选择。结果将为促进该领域的知识做出重大贡献，并提供了培训3HQP的机会。
