EnAlgae publishes economic model for offshore cultivation of macroalage
EnAlgae researchers have published an economic model to help to explore the economics of cultivating macroalgae at sea.
The model and report can be found here as outputs WP2A7.06 and WP2A7.11. Both documents together are a study into the business economics behind growing seaweed at sea.

"The report and model have been compiled by our colleagues at Wageningen UR in collaboration with colleagues at University of Ireland Galway, Queens University Belfast, CEVA in Brittany and ourselves here in Swansea," said project coordinator Dr Shaun Richardson. "All the information gained from their research will now be incorporated into our Decision Support Tool which will be released later this year. "
The EnAlgae project is led by Swansea University and funded by the European Union under the INTERREG IVB North West Europe programme. EnAlgae unites experts and observers from 7 EU member states to determine the potential benefits of algae as a future sustainable energy source.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
