Abstract:
In cooperation with National Environmental Research Institute, Risø DTU National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy and DONG Energy, Danish Technological Institute is manager of the project “Energy Production from Marine Biomass (Ulva lactuca)” which runs from 2008 to 2011. The project aims at clarifying the production potential as well as the energy production of sea lettuce (U. lactuca). Moreover the project will give recommendations for using flue gas from power plants to boost growth and finally give a financial evaluation of the possibility of using U. lactuca for energy purposes. In this project the research on energy potentials is focused on gasification and combustion and the production of bioethanol and biogas.
