🎙 How do BBI JU-funded projects create jobs in rural & coastal areas through the development of advanced #biorefineries?

@biconsortium Executive Director @DCarrez gives key examples 👇

How can Europe's #seafood industry reduce its reliance on plastic?
To find a solution to plastic waste in the sea, researchers are working on new materials to replace plastics with environmentally friendly alternatives.

Our MacroFuels partner @EuridaResearch looked into the social and regional aspects of large-scale #seaweed cultivation and the use for sustainable #biofuels.

Find the results in a Fact Sheet and in our Sustainability Assessment report 👉 https://t.co/L5voegvq0l

#Seaweed gets a lot of attention as resource for food & feed, sustainable products, climate mitigation and ecosystem services.

EURIDA looked at the social and regional aspects, esp. from a ‘seaweed industry’ perspective.

There is an undisputed & urgent need for a sustainable & smart transport system in 🇪🇺 and beyond 🌍

#H2020 @MacroFuels produces biofuels made from a cultivated seaweed 🌱designed for different means of transport 🚗✈️🚍

Τα φύκια θα αντικαταστήσουν το πετρέλαιο ως το 2050;🌱

Το έργο @MacroFuels του #H2020 απέδειξε ότι είναι τεχνικά εφικτή η παραγωγή καυσίμων από φύκια, σε ποσότητες που επαρκούν για τα αμάξια🚗

@EU_H2020 @inea_eu @EU_MARE Besides the seaweed ethanol we tested in the car we looked at a butanol mix and furanic fuel, also with very promising results. Next step is upscaling. We will keep you posted. @TNO_Research @TNO_nieuws @jaap_kiel @Algalourus @annettebruhn @GroenendaalBert @BertaMatas @Total

For the first time ever we tested #seaweed fuel in a passenger car in a standardized road test. It performed excellently. Target sectors are heavy transport and aviation where electrification is more difficult. #decarbonise #transport #eugreendeal @TNO_Research @EU_MARE @EATIP_eu

[Horizon Europe 🇪🇺 @HorizonEU]

Will seaweed fuel replace petrol by 2050? 🌱

Seaweed needs only water, sunlight & a nutrient presence to grow very fast ☀️ 💧

#H2020 @MacroFuels demonstrated that is technically possible to produce enough fuels from seaweed to drive a car 👉https://t.co/Xh47Nd8kxr

Amazing red seaweed lines. Beautiful, fast and fine growing branches of Kappaphycus. This work with @RISET_GORONTALO has tackled research questions on strain variation replicated at farm sites across Indonesia 👏

[EATiP @EATIP_eu]

👏👏👏... & not forgetting positive environmental impacts of carbon capture through plant based #aquaculture such as #seaweed & resource efficient production methods. Research & #innovation will be essential in delivering #EUFarm2Form and #EUGreenDeal objectives. #WorldFoodDay😀
