Novozymes has signed an exploratory research agreement with the India-based company Sea6 Energy. The two companies will jointly develop a process for the production of biofuels from seaweed, Novozymes wrote in a press release today.
The Danish company will research, develop, and manufacture enzymes for the conversion process, while Sea6 contributes its offshore seaweed cultivation technology.
“Seaweed is a natural complement to our efforts to convert other types of biomass to fuel ethanol. More than half of the dry mass in seaweed is sugar, and the potential is therefore significant,” said Per Falholt, Executive Vice President and CSO of Novozymes. /Ritzau Finans/BNS
