Enhanced Production of Algae Lipids and Carbohydrates for Fuel and Polyurethane Precursors
- Univ. of California, San Diego, CA (United States)
This Final Technical Report summarizes the goals, approach, and outcomes of the project “Enhanced Production of Algae Lipids and Carbohydrates for Fuel and Polyurethane Precursors”. The project addressed the challenge of improving microalgae biomass productivity and simultaneously producing valuable polyurethane precursors (PUPs), from both lipids and carbohydrates, that can be converted into renewable biofuels and bio-based polyurethane (PU) products. By integrating advanced genetic engineering, traditional breeding, high-throughput screening, pilot cultivation, and chemical conversion technologies, the team achieved significant advancements in algae biotechnology.
