Project Title: Improving biomethane yields from agricultural feedstock while reducing fugitive methane emissions
Biography: Xinming Guo is a structured PhD researcher working at the University of Galway and Teagasc on anaerobic digestion and biomethane production from agricultural feedstocks. His research focuses on improving methane yields from materials such as grass silage and cattle slurry, while also reducing methane losses from digesters and digestate storage. This work is important because it supports the development of cleaner renewable energy, helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, and contributes to a more sustainable rural bioeconomy in Ireland.
His project combines laboratory experiments, field measurements and environmental sustainability assessment. He is measuring fugitive methane emissions from anaerobic digestion systems. Outside research, he is interested in communicating science in a practical way that supports farmers, industry and energy independence.
