“Fuel from Seaweed”
Yet another change to our speaker tomorrow night ! Unfortunately Laken-Louise Hives has been taken ill, so Ian MacFarlane from SAMS and Biomara has stepped into the breach.
Ian Macfarlane is Facilitator & Chair of BioMara Stakeholder Group. 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. They are investigating macroalgae (seaweeds) and microalgae (single-celled plants) for their potential to provide sustainable fuel. In addition, the project is studying the environmental, social and economic impacts of using marine biofuel. A key remit of BioMara is to engage with the wider community
With the move towards sustainable, renewable energy Ian’s talk entitled “Fuel from Seaweed” should be of great interest.
Please come along and support this meeting as Ian has stepped in at the very last minute, when I thought all hope was lost !!
