Maximising Bioenergy Recovery from Sewage Sludge

污水处理产生了大量的污水污泥，这是一种重要的，但在很大程度上尚未开发的能源。该项目旨在开发和展示一种创新的，经济上有吸引力的和环境友好的技术，以及基础科学，以最大限度地从污水污泥中回收生物能源。该技术是基于使用游离氨（污水处理的副产品）处理污泥。该项目预计将使澳大利亚受益，大幅减少对化石燃料的依赖，加快向负担得起的可再生能源的转变。该项目的成果将为澳大利亚人带来巨大的能源、经济、环境和社会效益。

Sewage treatment is producing large amounts of sewage sludge, which represents a substantial, but largely untapped, energy source. This project aims to develop and demonstrate an innovative, economically attractive and environmentally friendly technology, and the underpinning science, to maximize bioenergy recovery from sewage sludge. The technology is based on the treatment of sludge using free ammonia, a by-product of sewage treatment. This project is expected to benefit Australia by substantially reducing the reliance on fossil fuels and accelerating a shift to affordable renewable energy. The outcomes of the project would provide significant energy, economic, environmental and social benefits for Australians.
