"Carbon recycling"
Development of carbon recycling technologies to address global issues caused by agricultural waste
2022-01-11
Background
Although utilization of huge amount of agricultural waste generated from tropical agriculture in developing countries as compost is ideal, in reality, it is a risk factor for climate change that affects crop yields and health due to indiscriminate and improper treatment and disposal such as abandonment in farms. Therefore, it is necessary to establish technologies and social systems that promote the recycling of agricultural waste.
Objective
Research Themes
- Development of technology to accelerate carbon recycling using algae and microorganisms
- Assessing the global environmental impacts caused by abandonment of crop residues in agricultural fields
- Social implementation of carbon recycling technology to solve global issues brought about by agricultural waste
Target Countries
Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand
Target Beneficiaries
Local communities in Asian countries with agricultural waste problems, governmental organizations involved in global warming countermeasures and policies, international organizations such as IPCC and COP involved in climate change mitigation, signatories of the bilateral credit system, farmers, companies, and governmental organizations involved in tropical plantation agriculture, and companies pursuing the bioenergy and biomaterial sectors
