Biography

Dr. Ing. Edward Antwi holds a PhD in waste and resource management from the University Rostock and a Bachelor and master’s degree in chemical and mechanical engineering respectively from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana. Over the past 10-15 years, Edward has been involved in several groundbreaking research activities and several projects in the renewable energy space with emphasis on technology development, deployment and dissemination. He has developed a keen research interest in low carbon technologies with the aim of finding alternative fuels to replace fossil fuels globally. Antwi has published about 30 peer reviewed scientific articles, 4 books and 2 book chapters. He has also served as consultant for several international bodies such as the SNV on Carbon Development Mechanism and biogas construction, UNPD on renewable energy technology deployment among others. On the international front, he has served as consultant for the European Union on North-South project of developing an Integrated Waste Solid Management System for Western Africa and more recently was part of the implementation of the novel hybrid waste to energy project in Ghana where a 400 kWe waste to energy power plant was designed and constructed. Currently Edward’s research is on the production and optimization of green methanol from biogenic carbon dioxide and green hydrogen at the Institute of Renewable Energy Systems in the University of Applied Science - Stralsund. The project seeks to design and construct a decentralized biomethanol plant which can be coupled to a biogas plant in Germany. This research, apart from being innovative, could also be a game changer in decarbonizing agriculture and opening up new revenue streams or cost savings pathways for farmers.
