Obiettivi generali: Bio.WALK4Biofuels Project aims to develop an alternative and innovative system for the treatment of biowaste and use of GHG emissions to produce biofuels, using macroalgae as a catalyser, in a multidisciplinary approach. The objectives of the project are: production of a cost-efficient biogas without using cereal crops; optimise the production of biogas per amount of biowaste and CO�2 used; and increase and facilitate the types of biowastes that can be utilised for biogas production. To achieve the underlined objectives, research activities are to be carried out on the selection of adequate macroalgae species that can reach high output biomass yields and high carbohydrate content. Pre-cultivation of protoplasts, accelerating cell-growth rate, is to be carried out to increase productivity. In addition, the relationship between growth and energy potential of selected species with the amounts/characteristics of GHG emissions and biowaste introduced in the cultivation medium is to be studied.
