The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology’s Sustainable Bioenergy Research Consortium (SBRC), a non-profit consortium supported by founding members Etihad Airways and Boeing, along with Takreer, SAFRAN and General Electric, on Monday announced it is to organise the first International Seawater Energy and Agriculture Forum 2016 in Abu Dhabi.
To be held on November 1-2 at the Masdar Institute Multi-Use Hall, the event will include the forum and a workshop on aquaculture and halophytes, to be organised in collaboration with the University of Arizona.
The forum will seek to create a knowledge-sharing platform for experts in aquaculture, halophyte agriculture and silviculture, or agroforestry, and the integrated approach for the production of energy and biomass.
During the forum, the SBRC will present the work it has been doing over the past few years, especially on its flagship project, the Seawater Energy and Agriculture System, SEAS.
