Funded Activity Summary
Second generation biofuels: developing environmentally friendly high-efficiency microalgae for biofuel production. The development of CO2-neutral (biodiesel) and CO2-free (hydrogen) fuels is an urgent challenge facing our society to combat climate change and protect against oil price shocks. Successful outcomes from this project will bring this innovative technology closer to commercial reality. The solar-powered microalgal systems being developed, offer a number of national/community benefits including 1. A high-efficiency frontier-technology for clean fuel production for the Australian and international market 2. A new process to desalinate water 3. Frontier technology to sequester atmospheric CO2 4. Frontier technologies for wealth generation in drought- or salinity-affected and naturally arid regionsFunded Activity Details
