Algae Event 2014
25 Czerwca 2014 - 25 Czerwca 2014
Austria
Algae event 2014 is a parallel event jointly organised by EU BC&E 2014, EnAlgae project and RE-CORD.
The Executive Committee selected this event to be included in the official programme of the 22nd EU BC&E that will take place at the CCH - Congress Center Hamburg, Germany in June 2014.
Both macro- and microalgae are increasingly being considered as a useful source of biomass for a number of industrial purposes. The aim of this one day event will be to get a better understanding on how algae fit into the current biomass industry and how they could contribute to a sustainable bioeconomy in the future. Therefore technological but also legislative bottlenecks should be addressed.
Discussions will be focussed around the following key questions and bottlenecks. These are provided as a guide and are not limiting.
-How does ‘farming’ algae compare and fit with other agricultural crop production?
-Algal biomass cultivation – which fitting technology fits with which application?
-Large scale algal biomass conversion methods – which are economically viable and energy efficient?
-Algae in wastewater treatment – bioremediation – is this the future for algae?
-Which are the most likely industrial applications?
-Which algal biofuels have a future?
-What are the options for algal biorefineries?
-What are the impacts on the environment and how do these compare to other biomass crops?
-How might legislation impact on the growth of the algal industry?
