The Sustainable Fuels from Marine Biomass project, BioMara, is a new UK and Irish joint project that aims to demonstrate the feasibility and viability of producing third generation biofuels from marine biomass. Read more here...

Research

The science will investigate macroalgae (seaweeds) and microalgae (single-celled plants) for their potential to provide sustainable fuel. In addition, the project will study the environmental, social and economic impacts of using marine biofuel.

The project's work falls into four major themes:

• Economic and social impacts
  
• Microalgae strains and yields
  
• Marine biomass (seaweed) as fuel
• Downstream processing

Staying informed - our stakeholders

A key remit of the BioMara project is to build a group of stakeholders, who will be kept in regular contact with research developments and who will work in concert to deliver widely applicable outcomes. More information here...

BioMara events and news will be publicised regularly on the website.
