Abstract
Taken from abstract: Policies focused on reducing dependence on foreign oil and on the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions are driving the development of liquid biofuels. Currently, commercial liquid biofuels are produced from edible crops. However, this method of production represents a major issue for the food supply chain and the extensive use of arable land. Alternative feedstocks such as macroalgae have the potential to increase the production of biomass for biofuels in a sustainable way, without impacting on the food supply chain or the use of arable land. This thesis investigates the potential of this alternative feedstock for the production of high-energy liquid fuels such as biocrude and biodiesel.
