Developing the next generation Macro-Algae based biofuels for transportation via advanced bio-refinery processes (MacroFuels)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,
...L3 to TRL 4/5.MacroFuels will expand the biomass available for the production of advanced biofuels. Seaweed does not need fresh water, arable land or fertilizers to grow, which provides environmental benefits, and in addition has a high carbon dioxide reduction potential as well as reduces the demand for natural resources on land. The technology offers many novel opportunities for employment along ...
