Christiane Herrmann

Dr. Christiane Herrmann is a Research Scientist at the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy e.V. (ATB) since 2016, specializing in Microbiome Biotechnology and Residue Management. Her work focuses on optimizing anaerobic digestion of organic by-products, reducing emissions from agricultural residues, and integrating biogas systems with circular economy principles. She has held research positions at institutions including University College Cork and the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering Potsdam-Bornim.

Research Interests: Christiane Herrmann's work spans biogas production, anaerobic digestion optimization, biomass valorization, and emission mitigation in agricultural systems. Her projects include:

• NEmGem – Reducing nitrous oxide and ammonia emissions in vegetable farming
• BIOADVAN – Advanced biomass treatment for value-added refinement
• EMeRGE – Methane mitigation during manure storage
• bio4value – Emission reduction through innovative biogas membrane technologies

Publication Trends: Her research emphasizes thermal and biological pretreatments for food waste digestion, statistical modeling of methane yields, and integration of biogas with environmental sustainability. Key themes include waste valorization, microbial process optimization, and climate impact reduction.

Professional Affiliations: She serves as Guest Editor for Frontiers in Energy Research and participates in multiple technical committees including KTBL working groups on biogas yields and VDI guideline development for organic material fermentation.
