Professor Lars Angenent is interested in converting organic wastes with undefined mixed cultures, or defined mixed cultures (when necessary) to generate specific products, such as energy carriers. Pretreatment of the waste(water) may be necessary to increase the conversion rates, and therefore he is also interested in physical/chemical (e.g., dilute acid method), thermochemical (e.g., slow pyrolysis), and biological pretreatment steps. In regards to the biological bioprocessing steps in a biorefinery concept, he works on anaerobic digestion, anaerobic fermentation, bioelectrochemical systems, syngas fermentation, and ABE fermentation.
