| The development of this review paper was recommended in December 2009 by the Interdepartmental Working Group on Bioenergy with the objective of reviewing the potential of integrated production of fuel, food, feed and other valuable chemicals from algae. This would provide information on the potential benefits in developing countries in order to promote the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and, more broadly RD&D in this field. This work was coordinated by Alessandro Flammini (GBEP Secretariat) the overall guidance of Olivier Dubois (FAO). |
