2. A European project supported through the Seven Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development BIOFAT – BIOfuel From Algae Technologies Project nr.268211 Call identifierFP7-ENERGY-2010-2 Funding schemeCollaborative project BIOFAT is part of the Algae Cluster together with two more projects

3. BIOFAT – BIOfuel From Algae Technologies Objective “To demonstrate at industrial scale (10 ha) the feasibility of biofuel production from microalgae”  BIOFAT will demonstrate at 10-ha scale proven and tested technologies developed by Consortium members at small scale. The three main targets are:  energy efficiency  economic positive result  environmental sustainability  BIOFAT will develop the Algorefinery concept through sustainability. A European project supported through the Seven Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development

4. BIOFAT – BIOfuel From Algae Technologies A European project supported through the Seven Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development  The project will integrate all the processes from single cell to biofuel production.  The production stage will be based on photobioreactors for inocula production, and raceways for production of bulk biomass and induction of oil/starch accumulation, necessary to obtain the biofuel (biodiesel and bioethanol).  Carbon dioxide derived from fermentation will be used. Technological Approach

5. BIOFAT – BIOfuel From Algae Technologies A European project supported through the Seven Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development Microalgae to biofuel Demonstration project includes:  farming area of 10-ha for microalgae cultivation  annual productivity target of 100 tons dry biomass per ha  Industrial carbon dioxide derived from fermentation to be used as raw material  Production based on different technologies:  low-energy consuming photobioreactors for inocula production o High productivity technology  raceway ponds for production of bulk biomass and oil/starch accumulation o Cell oil and carbohydrate accumulation obtained by nutrient stress.
