How can Europe's #seafood industry reduce its reliance on plastic? To find a solution to plastic waste in the sea, researchers are working on new materials to replace plastics with environmentally friendly alternatives. #EUGreenDeal #BlueEconomy

Our MacroFuels partner @EuridaResearch looked into the social and regional aspects of large-scale #seaweed cultivation and the use for sustainable #biofuels. Find the results in a Fact Sheet and in our Sustainability Assessment report 👉 macrofuels.eu/deliverables-1 @Safe_Seaweed
#Seaweed gets a lot of attention as resource for food & feed, sustainable products, climate mitigation and ecosystem services. EURIDA looked at the social and regional aspects, esp. from a ‘seaweed industry’ perspective. Fact Sheet 👉 macrofuels.eu/fact-sheets @FelixLeinemann
To learn more about our project, our ideas about seaweed cultivation and the first tests of #seaweed fuel in a real car (ever), watch the @euronews piece on #MacroFuels at euronews.com/2020/02/17/coul… @FuturEnergy_ @FuturEnviro @EU4BE @Scieducation1 @A_Panagopoulou @GabrielMariya
There is an undisputed & urgent need for a sustainable & smart transport system in 🇪🇺 and beyond 🌍 #H2020 @MacroFuels produces biofuels made from a cultivated seaweed 🌱designed for different means of transport 🚗✈️🚍 Check it out👉 europa.eu/!gX74QQ #EUGreenDeal

Τα φύκια θα αντικαταστήσουν το πετρέλαιο ως το 2050;🌱 Το έργο @MacroFuels του #H2020 απέδειξε ότι είναι τεχνικά εφικτή η παραγωγή καυσίμων από φύκια, σε ποσότητες που επαρκούν για τα αμάξια🚗 👉 bit.ly/2ZEscxG #EUGreenDeal

For the first time ever we tested #seaweed fuel in a passenger car in a standardized road test. It performed excellently. Target sectors are heavy transport and aviation where electrification is more difficult. #decarbonise #transport #eugreendeal @TNO_Research @EU_MARE @EATIP_eu
Will seaweed fuel replace petrol by 2050? 🌱 Seaweed needs only water, sunlight & a nutrient presence to grow very fast ☀️ 💧 #H2020 @MacroFuels demonstrated that is technically possible to produce enough fuels from seaweed to drive a car 👉euronews.com/2020/02/17/will… #EUGreenDeal

Amazing red seaweed lines. Beautiful, fast and fine growing branches of Kappaphycus. This work with @RISET_GORONTALO has tackled research questions on strain variation replicated at farm sites across Indonesia 👏
Ready to harvest (siap panen) #seaweed #rumputlaut Kappaphycus alvarezii in Kambunong, Central Mamuju @ProvSulbar , based on our research with @ACIARAustralia @DrNickPaul "adaptive and superior seeds (bibit unggul)" to increase farmers production. @brsdm_kp @sjariefwidjaja

👏👏👏... & not forgetting positive environmental impacts of carbon capture through plant based #aquaculture such as #seaweed & resource efficient production methods. Research & #innovation will be essential in delivering #EUFarm2Form and #EUGreenDeal objectives. #WorldFoodDay😀
A fair, healthy & environmentally-friendly food system is the goal of #EUFarm2Fork Strategy and a key aspect of #EUGreenDeal. Food from the ocean offers sustainable alternatives with low environmental impact, from net 🐟 to plate 🍽️. #WorldFoodDay2020 #aquaculture #fisheries
