The Carbon Trust intends to fund R&amp;D into microalgae derived transport fuels through the Algae Biofuels Challenge, ABC.<\/p>\n<p>The ABC is a two phase programme with the first phase addressing fundamental R&amp;D challenges and the second phase moving to large scale production of algal oil. The total programme cost is expected to be in the region of \u00a320m-30m, with up to \u00a310m-16m of Carbon Trust funding.<\/p>\n<p>The call for proposals for Phase 1 of the ABC opened on the 23rd October 2008 and closes on <strong>15th December 2008<\/strong>.
