Seaweed Biomass

Why Seaweed?

Seaweed is the low cost, sustainable and scalable biomass solution to the feedstock problem currently plaguing the renewable fuels industry. Seaweed is an ideal biomass because it:
  • has up to 60% fermentable carbohydrates


  • has no lignin


  • does not require arable land use for growth


  • requires no freshwater to grow


  • can reduce marine pollution

BAL has partnered with aquaculture companies as well as leading academic and industry experts worldwide to demonstrate the economic viability of seaweed biomass as well as the full seaweed-to-products supply chain.
