Bio-refining of seaweed: a sustainable source of chemicals and fuel?

The research presented in this thesis evaluated a range of UK native seaweeds as potential feedstocks for both bioethanol and speciality chemical production, with the objective of developing a putative bio-refining process. The gross chemical compositions of nine different UK species of seaweed wer...
