Dr Fionnuala Murphy, UCD School of Biosystems & Food Engineering When you figure out the environmental cost of making something, do you take everything into account? Dr Fionnuala Murphy at UCD School of Biosystems & Food Engineering takes a close look at various processes that use bio-based materials - from generating biofuels to making products fr...
With climbing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and rising tides of plastic all around, it’s crucial to source products and energy as sustainably as possible. But how do we know the true environmental impact of a particular source of energy, or a product? It’s an important insight to have, if we are to engineer more sustainable approaches....
Dr Murphy’s work on auditing the true environmental impact of processes across their life cycle has already helped to underpin a change in practice in Ireland. Her analysis of palm kernel shells being used as biomass to generate electricity at a power station in Edenderry, County Offaly, brought to light a higher emissions cost than had been report...
To help reduce the impact of waste from the agri-food sector, many researchers and companies are seeking to recoup valuable products and services from those waste streams and byproducts. To work out the environmental costs and benefits involved, Dr Murphy is working on major projects to assess the environmental impacts of existing and potential new...
The overarching impact of Dr Murphy’s work lies in strengthening the bioeconomy, which derives value from natural or bio-based resources. The bioeconomy is a strong focus of research and development in Horizon 2020, and it follows the publication of Europe’s Strategy on Bioeconomy in 2012. To maximise the environmental benefit and value in the bioe...
