Development of Biofuel Platform in Istanbul for Renewable Energy Production; KUBIP

Year: 2014 – 2015

Institution: Istanbul Development Agency (ISTKA) and Koç University Engineering Faculty

Status: Completed

The aim of this project is to establish a platform in Istanbul for discussing theoretical and practical concepts, methods, tools, policies, and applied examples within the scope of renewable energy technologies. Through this platform, networks are being created among current and future stakeholders involved in biofuel production across academia, industry, business, public institutions, and non-governmental organizations, thereby accelerating the dissemination of knowledge, experiences, and best practices that benefit microalgae stakeholders. In addition, the project includes pilot-scale biofuel production from microalgae, with considerations given to both economic and sustainability dimensions.
