Seaweed Could Provide the Sustainable ’Green’ Fuel of the Future

The tripartite BioMara bio-marine energy research project will be spearheaded by marine scientists based in Ireland, the North and Scotland.They will investigate on converting seaweed and other plant algae into fuel as an alternative to the use of food crops to produce bio-fuels. Addressing stakeholders at the Northern Ireland Science Park Mrs Foster said the BioMara project was at the cutting edge of renewable fuel technology.
Dr Michele Stanley from the Scottish Association for Marine Sciences in Oban who is leading development work on the project said: “With global fossil fuel supplies dwindling and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels affecting climate change, there is an urgent need for new, renewable fuel sources with low net carbon emissions.
“Marine algae could be part of the solution. Seaweeds grow rapidly, harness carbon dioxide and have simple structures which make them easily converted to fuel.”
