CIRCALGAE CIRCular valorisation of industrial ALGAE waste streams into high-value products to foster future sustainable blue biorefineries in Europe.
Forskningsprojekt, 2022
– 2026
Algae biomass is a treasure in the water, while capturing CO2 vast amounts of biomass are generated. However, this treasure is not being used to the fullest. The EU-funded CIRCALGAE project aims to develop a ground-breaking exploitation system where the algae industrial waste streams will be further valorised, in a more sustainable and circular approach. Through a set of simple, water-based technologies, the project focuses on introducing an integrated biorefinery concept and delivering novel macro- and microalgae ingredients to the food, feed and cosmetic sector. Bringing together a team of key algae cross-sectoral actors, CIRCALGAE aspires to revolutionise the blue bioeconomy and scale up the sustainable use of living aquatic resources.
The project started on October 2022, it will last 4 years and gathers 22 partners from 11 different European countries. Dr. Amparo Jiménez Quero (CHALMERS) is the project coordinator.
