Abstract: 

In Chile, Bio Architecture Lab broke ground on an experimental pilot facility producing ethanol from Macrocystis pyrifera (brown seaweed): to date, it is believed that only BAL's technology can metabolize all the sugars in the feedstock, which contains up to 60 percent fermentable carbonhydrates, has no lignin, doens not require arable land use or freshwater to grow.
