Seawater desalination and water reuse are nowadays state of the art technologies for alternative water sources where reverse osmosis (RO) desalination process play a main role as a barrier to salts and most contaminants. While energy continues to be a limitation for broader desalination plants implementations, assuring safe water reuse and public acceptance is a remaining concern for water reuse development. Apart from recovering and producing water of the highest quality, moving towards circularity also includes reducing energy consumption, making use of nutrients recovery as well as considering membrane reuse. Those approaches are considered through 3 projects developed in Lequia: Forward Factory, ConcentrA and Osmo4Lives. Forward Factory aims at reducing energy costs in desalination down to 1kWh.m-3 while allowing for 90% water recovery from wastewater using Forward Osmosis (FO) as central technology. Additionally, sides benefits could be obtained through the concentration of nutrients from the wastewater (organic matter, N, P) to facilitate their downstream recovery and transformation into valuable resources. ConcentrA projects aims at separating and concentrating volatile fatty acids from fermentation of agrifood industry wastewater streams to facilitate downstream bioplastics (PHA) production. Finally, Osmo4Lives objectives are to recycle end of life reverse osmosis (RO) membranes to give then 4 additional lives and to validate recycled membranes in various applications.

Innovating Towards a Sustainable Bioeconomy Future
An important current focus of research in biology, chemistry, engineering, agriculture, and environmental sciences is the development of clean technologies that utilize cellulosic biomass as a renewable resource to the largest extent possible in a biorefinery setting to produce sustainable liquid transportation fuels, chemicals and materials. Of all sustainable resources, only biomass can be transformed into organic fuels, chemicals, and materials that can integrate well into our current
infrastructure with the inherent convenience, cost, and efficiency advantages. Cellulosic biomass can be converted to biofuels and bioproducts through aqueous-phase processes involving carbohydrates-derived and lignin-derived reactive intermediates deconstructed from these structural components within biomass. Conversion of all major biopolymers within biomass, including lignin in addition to
cellulose and hemicellulose, offers promising opportunities for enhancing the overall operational efficiency, carbon conversion yield, economic viability, and sustainability of biorefinery. Despite the potential, the conversion of lignin to biofuels has proven to be challenging. In this talk, an overview of state-of-the-art technologies for advanced biofuels production as well as Prof. Yang’s recent research and development on both catalytic and biological pathways to upgrade lignin to jet fuel, chemicals, and materials will be discussed.
