Date Published: 10-Oct-2011
The NUIG Marine Research Centre in Connemara is one of 17 centres in Europe that will be involved in a research project aimed at generating fuel from seaweed.
It has already been proven in the Research Centre in Carna that seaweed can be grown in laboratory conditions - this research will now tie in with the fuel project.
The centre has been allocated 1 point 1 million euro in funding for the study.
