EnAlgae Decision Support Toolset: model validation

One of the drivers behind the EnAlgae project is recognising and addressing the need for increased availability of information about developments in applications of algae biotechnology for energy, particularly in the NW Europe area, where activity has been less intense than in other areas of the globe. Such information can be of benefit in coordinating research activities, stimulating targeted investment to develop promising technologies and to guide key policy decisions. To make this a reality, EnAlgae has developed a Decision Support Toolset (DST) to enable improved evaluation of state of the art algal biotechnology and to compare alternative routes to utilising algal biomass.
