Biomass valorization via photo/electro/bio-processing
Abstract: It is clear, that by mid-century, to avoid the worst-case scenarios of anthropogenic climate change, our society will have to rely on sustainable and renewable resources rather than fossil fuels. Biomass is a key proposed component of several climate mitigation strategies, with substantial involvement of future energy and material systems. The general objective of my research is utilizing biomass, photo/bio-catalysts, and cell factories to design and fabricate renewable and sustainable bioproducts and systems, via bioinspired routes, for Energy, Environmental, and Biomedical application. In this presentation, I will talk about our work on solar-driven biomass photorefining for green energy carriers such as H2 and value-added bioproducts co-production. Then, I will introduce our recent progress on using bio-photo/electro hybrid catalytic systems for biomass valorization. In addition, I will also introduce our strategy to assemble nanocellulose with genetically engineered proteins fused to carbohydrate binding module (CBM) for environmental and biomedical application.
