Dr. Omid Norouzisafsari’s research endeavors encompass the development and demonstration of cutting-edge technologies for organic processing within regulated mixed anaerobic digestion facilities (RMADF). His work focuses on integrating, scaling up, and optimizing anaerobic digestion processes, biological CO2 methanation, and water electrolysis to identify conditions conducive to profitability. Additionally, he contributes to projects such as the Elora Anaerobic Digestion Demonstration and Research Facility, aiming to enhance sustainable fertilizer production through Anaergia Nutrients. Dr. Norouzisafsari’s efforts extend to maximizing biogas yield from Ontario crop residue via prefermentation and recuperative units, ultimately optimizing benefits for farmers while advancing renewable energy solutions.
