Environmental risk assessment of the MacroFuels concept

The environmental risk assessment will – in co-operation with WP1 - address and assess the direct environmental impacts and risks that large-scale seaweed cultivation may pose at the levels of the physical/chemical environment (eutrophication, oxygen conditions), as well as at biological levels (biodiversity: e.g. effects on natural seaweed populations [shading, diseases, genetics], effects on higher trophic levels: fish, birds and mammals).
