Explore the world of synthetic biology in a talk at Satrosphere Science Centre
With the population expected to hit nine billion in the coming years, the need to conserve land use is clear not only in food crops but also when it comes to biofuels. Current biofuel crops can often have a harmful impact on the land they grow on - taking up space that could otherwise be used for vital food crops, and often being grown in rainforests.
The future of biofuels, exploration into the use of algae and beyond, will be discussed at a one-off free talk on March 25th called “Synthetic Biology and the future”, at Satrosphere Science Centre from 7pm. Dr Oliver Ebenhoeh, from the University of Aberdeen, will take the audience on a journey through the world of synthetic biology to explore the way the things we use to wrap up our sushi (algae) could have another, globally important, role in the future of energy.
