Energy Neutral Anthropogenic Nitrogen Management

本项目旨在开发一种基于新型厌氧氨氧化途径的创新能量中性生物氨管理策略。来自城市和农业环境的富铵废物流是富营养化的主要原因，并对人类和生态健康造成严重的环境负担。该项目有望从根本上改变我们管理铵污染的方式，并将立即适用于工程生物反应器系统。这将为支持广泛的行业提供巨大的好处，这些行业正在努力寻找负担得起的和净零的方式来管理铵废物，为实现全球净零碳排放迈出了重要的一步。

This project aims to develop an innovative energy-neutral biological ammonium management strategy based on a novel anaerobic ammonia oxidation pathway. Ammonium-rich waste streams from urban and agricultural settings are a major cause of eutrophication and impose severe environmental burdens to human and ecological health. This project is expected to fundamentally change how we manage ammonium pollution, and will have immediate applicability to engineered bioreactors systems. This will provide significant benefits in supporting a wide range of industries that struggle with finding affordable and net-zero ways to manage ammonium wastes, providing an important step to reach global net-zero carbon emissions.
