This project focusses on the seaweed/macroalgae-to-biofuels chain. Liquid biofuels or precursors thereof such as ethanol, biogas, butanol and furanics are targeted which can be used as aviation fuels and/or in the heavy transport sector. The following breakthroughs in biofuel production form microalgae will be achieved.
