Ethanol production from microalgae and lignocellulosic biomass.

Project description

Microalgae and agricultural residues provide fermentation feedstock for biofuels

The transition to cleaner forms of energy is becoming increasingly urgent, and numerous technologies stand to make an important contribution to this goal. Ethanol is an alcohol and a clean, renewable fuel that can be made from biomass. It is commonly made from starchy plants, such as corn, sugar cane and sugar beets. The EU-funded ProEMiBiL project will explore the use of sugarcane biomass with residual microalgae biomass high in nutrient content.
