This project aims to optimize the growth of algae for biodiesel production by improving light use efficiency in photobioreactors. It will assess the effects of light/dark cycles on algae and develop genetically enhanced strains for better photosynthetic performance.
New renewable energy source are highly needed to compensate exhausting fossil fuels reserves and reduce greenhouse gases emissions.
Some species of algae have an interesting potential as feedstock for the production of biodiesel thanks to their ability to accumulate large amount of lipids.
Strong research efforts are however needed to fulfil this potential and address many issues involving optimization of cultivation systems, biomass harvesting and algae genetic improvement.
