Technical and Economic Evaluation of Macroalgae Cultivation for Fuel Production (Draft)

Sara Havig

Research output: NREL › Technical Report

Abstract

The potential of macroalgae as sources of renewable liquid and gaseous fuels is evaluated. A series of options for production of macroalgae feedstock is considered. Because of their high carbohydrate content, the fuel products for which macroalgae are most suitable are methane and ethanol. Fuel product costs were compared with projected fuel costs in the year 1995.
