Abstract:

Drivers for seaweed cultivation in the Dutch North Sea

• No existing seaweed industry

• Development of biobased economy (agricultural crops, lignocellulose residues, microalgae,..)

• Interest in seaweeds:

- No competition with food or other land use issues

- High biomass productivity

- Versatile feedstock: numerous options for chemicals and fuels via biorefinery

- Biochemical composition: complementary (for chemicals/fuel production) to micro-algae

• Development offshore wind turbine parks
