Galway Bay fm newsroom - NUI Galway is embarking on a 5 million euro project to develop fuel from waste.
The project will be led by Environmental Biotechnology expert, Professor Piet Lens, who has been appointed Established Professor of New Energy Technologies at the university.
The research will see the team develop novel bioreactor concepts which can recover energy from waste and wastewater.
It's hoped the project will support the national strategy for an energy self-sufficient Irish bioeconomy.
