Food waste management is a great challenge for megacities. Traditional centralized disposal methods such as landfill and incineration generally have the shortcomings of significant greenhouse gas (GHG) and toxic by-product emissions. Bioenergy technologies such as gasification and anaerobic digestion (AD) serve as alternative solutions for food waste disposal and could convert food waste into valuable products such as syngas, biochar, and biogas.

In this project, we will propose and optimize gasification and AD-based food waste disposal systems as an alternative to traditional disposal practices (e.g., landfill and incineration) in Glasgow, from an economic and environmental point of view. The systems will consist of waste pre-treatment units, reactors, product treatment units, and combined heat and power generation units and are used to achieve localized waste energy and resource recovery.

If you are interested in the project, please email Siming.You@glasgow.ac.uk with your CV for further discussion.
