- Commercial viability of seaweed biomethane cannot be achieved without adopting an integrated biorefinery approach, where energy is at the bottom of the value extraction chain. This work is amongst the first to explore this novel concept and was funded by the Science Foundation of Ireland through a Technology Innovation and Development award (14/TIDA/2420). Results opened new research directions in biochemicals production from seaweed. As a result, in 2015, the co-author, Tedesco, received the Charlemont Award (from the Royal Irish Academy) and was amongst the finalists of the Sustainable Energy Award – from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland.
