Background of the Solar Bio-Fuels Consortium The Focus of the Solar Bio-Fuels Consortium: Clean Fuels for the Future Rapid implementation of clean energy systems is needed to facilitate CO2 stabilisation: In order to stabilise CO2 levels between 450 and 550 ppm it is predicted that we are faced with the challenge of installing systems capable of producing energy free of CO2 emissions, at a level almost equivalent to ~50-75% current global energy demand in 2005 (15 TW), in 20 years time (Hoffert et al. 1998).
Green algae and advanced bioreactor systems have significant practical and economic advantages for bio-fuel production over traditional crop plants. To facilitate the efficient development of algal bio-fuels processes, such as the production of bio-hydrogen, bio-diesel, biomass for BTL and biomass for bio-methane, Ben Hankamer and Olaf Kruse established the Solar Bio-Fuels Consortium through the commercialisation wing of the Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB) - UniQuest.
