Renewable and sustainable energy
Sustainable/biobased materials
3rd Danish Algae Conference – Grenaa (DK) – October 9-10, 2013
The European Parliament has backed proposals to limit the amount of food crops used to produce biofuel. MEPs say "first-generation" biofuels - from crops like corn - should not exceed 6% of fuel used in transport by 2020, amending the target from 10%. They want "advanced biofuels" - sourced from seaweed or certain types of waste to make up at least 2.5%. Biofuels have been seen as a way to cut fossil fuel use, but using food crops can displace food production. MEPs vote by 356 votes to 327 to support a legislative report by Corinne Lepage, a French liberal MEP, which puts a limit on the proportion of food-based biofuels that should make up the fuel mix.

The concept
Development of substrates based on advanced textiles to facilitate open sea cultivation of aquatic biomass (seaweed), having a high-potential as a source for renewable energy, biofuels, food/feed, and biomaterials
Advanced textiles for open sea biomass cultivation (AT~SEA)
3rd Danish Algae Conference – Grenaa (DK) – October 9-10, 2013
The project targets the development of novel textile materials for 3 different elements of the aquatic biomass cultivation farms:
• Advanced textile substrates for seaweed cultivation
• Advanced textile based cables and connections for positioning and anchoring of the advanced textile substrate
• Advanced coated textiles for flexible and light-weight floatation tubes, as well as for storage and transportation tanks

Summary
The AT~SEA project studies the development of advanced textiles (cultivation substrates; mooring system; buoyancy + storage & transportation tanks)
Results after 18 month: o Tests in lab, in tanks and at sea reveal that there is a strong influence of
textile chemistry and textile structure on the adhesion and growth of seaweed
o Models and simulations resulted in detailed insight into the behavior of the cultivation substrates under various conditions at sea
o Successful seaweed growth on 1 x 1 m2 textile substrate at sea
The final project target is to successfully demonstrate a 500 m2 cultivation system in Ireland (2014/2015; i.e. deploy, seed, grow, harvest), thus showing the technical and economic feasibility of seaweed cultivation in Europe
3rd Danish Algae Conference – Grenaa (DK) – October 9-10, 2013
Final remark
Commercially successful cultivation of seaweed in Europe can only be established if we:
o Develop multiple markets (energy, food/feed, (bio)materials, etc.)
o Apply a multidisciplinary R&D approach
o Have good collaboration • Between industries, research institutes and universities
• Between (inter)national and regional seaweed related groups (Nordic Algae Network, Algal Bioenergy Special Interest Group, etc.)
• Between national and international project teams (ENALGAE, BIOMARA, etc.)

Interested in testing the AT~SEA substrates?
The AT~SEA consortium is willing to supply its advanced textile substrates (under non-disclosure/non-analysis agreement) to groups that are interested to tests these substrates at their cultivation locations. Please contact Bert Groenendaal for more details.
