The Algal Harvesting Discovery Project
An exciting project is underway to identify, with the help of Biomimicry, a sustainable solution to the persisting challenge of harvesting algae from natural open environments, where they are commonly a problem.
Climate change, rising fossil fuel prices and concerns over global energy security have focused attention on the need for sustainable energy sources.
Once harvested, algae can be used to create bio-energy, with huge potential for both treatment of wastewater and sustainable energy production through managed cultivation of this life form.
Here you can find out about the issues surrounding algal growth, become familiar with the latest and ongoing research, and keep up to date with the project’s progress.
