We are pleased to announce that Prof. Anthony Lau, an active member of CERC, has been awarded a 3-year research grant under the NSERC Alliance program for his work on sustainable waste management and renewable energy. This project, in collaboration with Providence Health Care (PHC), aims to develop innovative solutions for converting food waste from healthcare facilities into renewable natural gas (RNG) and other valuable resources.
By leveraging anaerobic digestion (AD) and advanced biogas upgrading techniques, Prof. Lau’s research will explore cost-effective and eco-friendly methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while producing clean energy. The study also integrates life cycle and technoeconomic assessments, ensuring practical applications for healthcare facilities across British Columbia and Canada.
