Technology revamping and retrofitting R&D to meet SAF feedstock requirement and high efficiency with refuse stocks.

MicroBioGen is pioneering the valorisation of large-scale biofuel waste streams into high-value single cell protein for premium animal feed. As an Australian-based biotechnology company, MicroBioGen has achieved global success in enhancing the industrial capabilities of 𝘚𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘺𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘦, the world's most widely used microorganism. This yeast underpins over US $2 trillion in products, from biofuels, biochemicals and pharmaceuticals to mycoproteins for food and feed. With a proprietary platform technology and library of elite yeast genetics, developed over 20 years, MicroBioGen delivers ‘Yeast Innovation as a Service’ to industry leaders globally. Demonstrated through MicroBioGen’s bioethanol partnership with Novonesis and co-developing the Innova® yeast series which delivers unparalleled industrial performance, MicroBioGen is the collaborator of choice for yeast biotechnology, with opportunities in existing and emerging industries, ranging from optimizing yeast for baking, sustainable feed and energy-to-food applications.

I bring a unique blend of technical expertise at PhD level, systems thinking, and entrepreneurial leadership to renewable energy project. My research and consulting experiences include: 1. Emissions Mapping for Food Cold Chain Systems • Led the development of digital platforms to quantify and visualize GHG emissions across supply chains. • Identified high-impact intervention points for energy and emissions reduction. • Relevance: Lifecycle analysis and emissions modeling applicable to Biochar LCA and Carbon Credit Certification. 2. Circular Economy Strategy Development • Advised on resource recovery and waste valorization strategies for food systems. • Supported stakeholder engagement and policy alignment for sustainable interventions. • Relevance: Experience in identifying organic waste streams suitable for conversion into renewable diesel or SAF. 3. Refrigeration System Optimization • Conducted technical assessments of refrigeration systems, recommending energy-efficient upgrades and low-GWP refrigerants. • Relevance: Transferable skills in thermal systems analysis and energy modeling for WTE process design. 4. Climate Tech Venture Development • Co-founded Our Resources Emissions (ORE) Limited to deliver scalable climate tech solutions for different materials (such as food, biomass, agrifood waste and biofuel) supply chains. Also, focusing on Measurement and Analysis of Accuracy of Impact Plate Flow Meter. • Led product development, stakeholder engagement, and impact modelling as well as Characterisation of Biomass Feedstocks Relaxation Properties Using Visco Elastic Models and Predicting Storage Vessel Geometry Requirements for Discharge of Extreme Shape Materials (such as Biomass and Waste Materials) plus Gasol (Bioethanol/Biofuels) Production from Broomcorn. • Relevance: Demonstrates capacity to lead innovation, manage complex projects, and deliver measurable environmental outcomes.
