I am currently working on a thesis project at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, looking at developing processes for utilising seaweed, particularly asco and laminaria in the production of ethanol, fertiliser and also bio-plastics.
The only estimate that I've been able to find so far for the volume of ethanol that can be produced per ton of dried seaweed is approx 34 litres. I was wondering if anyone else had read or discovered differing maximums?
Obviously the produceable volume greatly impacts upon the economic viability of any future endeavour.
