Algae are economically important as a source of crude oil, food and feed, and pharmaceutical and industrial products. High-value and sustainable products from algae are already economically viable and can be a fundamental driver for fuel production. \u003cb\u003eAlgae in the Bioeconomy\u003c\/b\u003e provides a detailed overview of the chemical composition of algae and shows that an integrated biorefinery approach is necessary for large-scale algae production and conversion, where multiple products are produced.

He has had various international positions in R\u0026amp;D, including Spontex, where he was the Worldwide Director of R\u0026amp;D. He holds several patents related to various products. In his last job before his retirement in 2016, he was a project manager in biomass valorization at ValBiom and worked for more than eight years on biobased products and biorefineries. He also wrote six books: \u003ci\u003eCellulose Science and Technology\u003c\/i\u003e (2010), \u003ci\u003eLignocellulosic Biorefineries\u003c\/i\u003e (2013), \u003ci\u003eHemicelluloses and Lignin in Biorefineries\u003c\/i\u003e (2018), \u003ci\u003eStarch in the Bioeconomy\u003c\/i\u003e (2020), \u003ci\u003eChitin and Chitosans in the Bioeconomy\u003c\/i\u003e (2021), and \u003ci\u003eBiomass in the Bioeconomy\u003c\/i\u003e (2022).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerge Perez\u003c\/strong\u003e holds a doctorate in sciences from the University of Grenoble, France. He has had international exposure throughout several academic and industry positions in research laboratories in the US, Canada, and France (Centre de Recherches sur les Macromolecules Végétales, CNRS, Grenoble, as the chairperson and as director of research at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility). His research interests span the whole area of structural glycoscience, emphasizing polysaccharides, glycoconjugates, and protein-carbohydrate interactions. He has a strong interest in the economy of glycoscience and e-learning, for which he created www.glycopedia.eu. He is actively involved in scientific societies as president and past president of the European Carbohydrate Organisation. He is the author of more than 330 research publications, which are the subject of a large number of citations and references.
