InCrops and EnAlgae host 'AD and Algae: Closing the Loop'; a networking meeting to introduce opportunities and challenges for coupling AD with growing microalgae. The event will take place on Wednesday 18 July 14:00 -17:30 at Db Conference Rooms, Kempson Way, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP32 7AR.
Why couple AD with algae?
- AD produces liquid digestate, CO2 and, if coupled to CHP, low grade heat.
- All these are needed to grow algae.
- Growing algae for feed, chemicals and/or energy applications could add value to AD operations.
- Currently demand for algae outstrips supply, and new business opportunities are emerging.
This FREE event is aimed at anyone interested in either growing algae, or in exploring options for adding value to AD.
It will
- give an overview of the synergies that exist between AD operations and growth of algal biomass
- discuss challenges involved with the recovery and utilisation of AD digester products and the potential benefits if applied to microalgae production
- discuss the practical implications of scaling up the integration of algae production into an AD system
- introduce the variety of commercial and legal aspects that need to be considered
- facilitate building links between AD and algae experts
- showcase the work of the newly launched INTERREG NW Europe Strategic Initiative 'EnAlgae', of which InCrops is a partner
Registration - please contact Julia O'Rourke, InCrops Events Co-ordinator, before 10 July 2012, by email adapt.events@uea.ac.uk or call 01603 591765.
