Research topics Prof. Herkendell

Assistant professorship Distributed Energy Process Engineering

The assistant professorship for Distributed Energy Process Engineering addresses:

• Bioelectrocatalytic energy production (enzymatic and microbial fuel cells, engineering of electrode surfaces)
• Waste-to-Energy (self-fueled biosensors, bioeconomy, bioelectrical systems with anaerob digestion, valorization of organic waste)
• Bioelectricsynthesis (biocatalytical production of high-value chemicals, electro-methanogenesis, CO₂-biotransformations)

Current Projects:

• EU-Projekt: BIOMETHAVERSE
• BMBF-Projekt MultiKulti
• BMWi-Projekt Hy2BioMethane
