This project will develop a process which uses seaweed for the generation of sustainable energy by anaerobic digestion (AD). Currently, farmers, food processors and industry use AD to generate bio-methane from wastes, to reduce energy costs or provide income. As waste supplies can be variable and AD is a continuous process, food crops like maize and beets are used to supplement waste. Seaweed has the potential to replace these food crops, which use land and water which could otherwise be used for human food production. The UK has extensive coastal waters and internationally recognised academic excellence in seaweed, its growth requirements and environmental considerations. This project brings together expertise in AD process development, economic modelling, environmental and social impact assessment and the supply chain - from seabed access for seaweed farming through to biogas injection into the national grid.

该项目将开发一种利用海藻通过厌氧消化（AD）产生可持续能源的工艺。目前，农民、食品加工商和工业界使用反倾销从废物中产生生物甲烷，以降低能源成本或提供收入。由于废弃物的供应是可变的，而反倾销是一个连续的过程，因此玉米和甜菜等粮食作物被用来补充废弃物。海藻有可能取代这些粮食作物，因为它们使用的土地和水本来可以用于人类粮食生产。英国拥有广阔的沿海沃茨和国际公认的学术卓越的海藻，其生长要求和环境考虑。该项目汇集了AD工艺开发、经济建模、环境和社会影响评估以及供应链方面的专业知识--从海底海藻养殖到向国家电网注入沼气。
