The UC Berkeley Energy & Biosciences Institute (EBI) has received nearly $20 million to establish a center aimed at advancing the use of seaweed in the global supply chain.

Named the International Bioeconomy Macroalgae Center (IBMC) at UC Berkeley, the Center will address the need for foundational knowledge, technological approaches, supply chain designs, policy frameworks, community engagement, and educational materials for businesses and consumers to build sustainable macroalgal-based bioeconomies.
