Biography
Patricia J Harvey is a Senior Expert in bioenergy value chains, and the water-food-energy nexus, with particular focus on the use of algal and non-food plant systems for the capture of CO2, use of non-potable water and production of green chemicals and biofuels. She is a Coordinator of several projects including: “the CO2 microalgae biorefinery: D-Factory”; a 10 million Euro FP7-funded project “Macrobiocrude”, (EPSRC-funded); Non-food bio-oil supply chains (EU-ACP-funded) aimed at capacity building measures in South Africa, Namibia and Ghana to create sustainable, non-food supply chains; Ecotec21 (EU-Interreg) which installed novel, biofuel-fired CHP technology at the University of Greenwich (UK) using biooils and glycerol; tuning algae for biofuel profitably (NERC, Innovate UK).
