Benefits and Risks from Biomass Production with Seaweeds
A workshop is being organised by the European funded research project EnAlgae with the aim of discussing the conditions needed for large scale seaweed production in Europe.
The International EnAlgae Stakeholder Workshop on Benefits and Risks from Biomass Production with Seaweeds will take place on Tuesday 28th October from 09:30 to 16:30 at Premier Inn London Heathrow Airport (Bath Road). It’s being organised by project partners from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS)
The workshop will be discussing the following questions:
- Could ecosystem services provided by the cultivation of seaweeds compensate the unfavourable energy balance?
- Which is better, wild harvest or cultivation of seaweeds?
- Is seaweed cultivation in competition to other users of the marine ecosystem?
- Employment in rural areas but low income jobs only?
- What are the perceptions of the use of non-native seaweeds?
