ALGAESOL aims to develop cost-effective, sustainable and renewable biofuels based on microalgae and direct solar fuel production and purification technologies in order to accelerate the replacement of fossil-based energy technologies. Solar energy, carbon dioxide and organic wastes will be converted through biologic, photoelectrochemical, electrochemical or bioelectrochemical processes into renewable methanol, methane and biooils, forming the basis for aviation and shipping fuels.
