Optimized algae for the sustainable production of fuel for the aviation. Algae breeding technologies are developed and the genetic diversity of algae is used to improve production performance in different photobioreactor designs with the help of targeted modification (1) and directed evolution (2). The provision of fundamentals (OptimAL) is linked to sustainable production and conversion to the industrial production of biokerosene (AUFWIND). OptimAL focuses on developing innovative ways in the essential first step, the optimized production of algae biomass. AUFWIND evaluates the entire chain from algae biomass production to kerosene v.a. based on today's systems.
