The nutrient bioextraction potential of offshore macroalgae cultivation: A study on the establishment of ecosystem services through large-scale offshore macroalgae cultivation in the North Sea

Due to the increasing impact of terrestrial agriculture on climate change, the attention of a myriad of industries is shifting towards the use of alternative, low-emission resources. Seaweed cultivation has presented itself as a contribution to the mitigation of the increased pressure on current resources. However, coastal and offshore marine...

Cascading Biorefinery Approaches for the Sustainable Fractionation of Macroalgae

The growing population is accompanied by an increase in the global energy and resource demand. Biorefining can be considered a means to help meet these growing demands through a range of bio-based materials. A biorefinery approach for developing an upstream process for the production of valuable products from macroalgae would be essential to...
