DESCRIPTION:In order to realise the enormous potential for bio
 energy production from microalgae\, several challe
 nges must be overcome\, including ensuring that th
 ere is a net carbon balance\, and that it is econo
 mically viable.\n\nOne way in which this might be 
 addressed is to consider developing algae as indus
 trial biotechnology platforms for production of hi
 gh value\, low volume compounds. As well as provid
 ing an initial income stream\, it will also enable
  agronomic 'know-how' for industrial algal cultiva
 tion to be developed.\n\n-------------------------
 -------------------------\n\nThese seminars aim to
  bring together a diverse range of individuals fro
 m the humanities as well as social and natural sci
 ences to discuss the public policy implications of
  their work and research.\n\nThey will take place 
 on Fridays between 1-2pm\, throughout the Lent ter
 m. \n\nEach talk will last 25-30 minutes and will 
 be followed by open discussion.
