Abstract
Abstract

The DEMA Consortium will develop, demonstrate and license a complete economically competitive technology for the direct production of bioethanol from microalgae with low-cost scalable photobioreactors by 2016. Initial proof-of-concept results show via life cycle assessment and economic balance that it is feasible to use microalgae to produce bioethanol. The catalytic conversion of solar energy, H2O and CO2 into ethanol will be carried out by a metabolically engineered strain of the cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.

DEMA Project present on the annual Lab-on-a-Chip Asia

DEMA project partner University of Cambridge was present at the 2nd annual Lab-on-a-Chip Asia - Microfluidics and Point Of Care Diagnostics conference, held in Singapore.

The presentation entitle "High-throughput analysis of cyanobacteria ethanol producers as means of fluorescence in a microdroplet platform" was held by Dr. Sara Abalde-Cela (University of Cambridge).
