Online event: a guide for energy independence

Online event: a guide for energy independence

What if energy independence was not only possible, but already underway? In this special live episode of the podcast Fuelled by Microbes, we close the Micro4Biogas project by exploring one town's journey to becoming self-sufficient — and what it means for the future of renewable energy across Europe.

Online event: discovering game-changing microorganisms

Our second panel discussion addresses microbes' role in our lives and some exciting discoveries. We talk with three experts in the field, dedicated to these tiny key players in processes like biogas production: Adriel Latorre, Director of the Genomics Department at Darwin Bioprospecting Excellence; Manel Porcar, CEO at Darwin Bioprospecting Excellence and Scientific Director of Micro4Biogas; and Pascal Otto, a Doctoral Researcher at the Institute of Waste Management and Circular Economy at the Dresden University of Technology.

A shitty episode

Do you know what biogas, probiotics, and beer have in common? And what if we told you that a certain transplant could also enhance the quality of biogas? In this episode, we'll uncover the surprising connection between these elements through bioaugmentation, as explained by our expert guests. We'll explore how improving microbial communities can lead to more efficient biogas production.

Food for fuel

Some say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Strangely enough, it seems that the way to better biogas is exactly through the same place. Join us in the fourth episode of Fuelled by Microbes, where we talk with the experts about microbial food, discovering how tiny microscopic gourmets delight in some foods more than others, and how we can find the best materials to feed them and produce better biogas.
