Abstract: 
  • The ‘Seaweed Biorefinery’ project: general description
  • Composition of seaweed species for biorefinery
  • Biorefinery of green seaweeds (local Ulva lactuca)
  • Biorefinery of brown seaweed species:
  • Saccharina latissima as model feedstock
        • mannitol and alginate extraction
        • fermentation of mannitol/glucose to acetone, butanol and ethanol
