Introduction
iGEM Groningen 2015 wants to harness the energy of salinity, often called ‘Blue Energy’.
Blue Energy uses ion exchange membranes to separate the sodium and chloride found in sea water. These ion exchange membranes are expensive and unreliable. We want to use bacteria to create a living membrane that can repair itself. For more information contact contact@igemgroningen.com.
Support us
The University of Groningen has given us large well-equiped labaratorium and a nice office, but we still need to purchase supplies and specialised scientific equipment. We are sponsored by several university institutes such as the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials as several coorperate sponsors and public sector sponsors. If you can support our project, please contact us at contact@igemgroningen.com. The university of Groningen is also running a crowdfunding campaign for us at
http://stundent.rugsteunt.nl if you wish to donate privately.
