SEA LETTUCE

Energy production from marine biomass (Ula lactuca). A growing focus on marine biomass for bio-energy purposes necessitates assessments of climatic and environmental impacts of algae cultures.
 
The project investigates emissions of nonCO2 greenhouse gas emissions(nitrous oxide and methane) associated with aquacultures of Ulva and other algae species. The work is based on laboratory scale experiments.
