Dialogic carries out a baseline measurement for the BioSolar Cells program management (www.biosolar.nl), in which the initial situation is recorded in terms of a number of performance indicators. The BioSolar Cells program aims to strengthen the scientific basis over the next five years for the sustainable production of bio-energy and food through more efficient utilization of the biological process of photosynthesis. The program involves 9 knowledge institutions and 25 industrial partners. The Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation (EL&I), NWO, the knowledge institutions and the companies fund the program with €42 million. This extensive research program seeks to provide an innovative response to the increasingly pressing issue of future energy and food supply. Over the coming decades, the available reserves of fossil fuels will decrease globally, the demand for proteins as food will rise, and the consequences of climate change will become more evident. Additionally, the increasing prosperity of the growing world population places a greater demand on the diminishing area of agricultural land.
