Abstract
Marine (blue) biomasses, such as macroalgaes, represent a huge unexploited amount of
biomass. With their various chemical compositions, macroalgaes can be a potential
substrate for food, feed, biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, health care products and also for
bioenergy. Algae use seawater as a growth medium, light as energy source and they
capture CO2 for the synthesis of new organic material, thus can grow on non-agricultural
land, without increasing food prices, or using fresh water. Due to all these advantages in
addition to very high biomass yield with high carbohydrate content, macroalgaes can be
the well suited candidates as feedstock for biofuel production in the future. The aim of
our studies is to examine the possibility producing liquid biofuel (ethanol and butanol)
from macroalgaes.
