About the project
The project aims to create a network of relevant stakeholders within the algaeindustry in the BA region. The network will answer the global need to find
additional suitable biomass sources to meet the increasing demand of raw
material for bioenergy, proteins and biochemical compounds. Up to date
technologies will be utilized to transform waste streams into algae biomass
through cost and energy efficient commercial systems suitable for the Nordic
climate.
The main goal is transfer of innovative solutions for the production of algae
biomass from waste streams at industrial scale. Increase of equal working
opportunities for both men and women in the region. This project will show
clear benefits for the environment and climate, as algae cleans and recycles
nutrients from wastewater and flue gases, as well as provides biomass for
valuable products and biofuels.
Goals
1. A network of relevant stakeholders within the Botnia-Atlantica region
2. Development of a cost and energy efficient scalable cultivation system
3. Development of a cost and energy efficient harvesting system
4. Transformation of the algal biomass for energy production and high value
products
