Alganova Microalgae Protein Biorefinery Project

awarded

Alganova is a four-year project funded by the EU to establish a biorefinery for producing sustainable proteins and functional ingredients from microalgae fed on marine waste and industrial biogenic CO2. The project aims to develop and validate a circular biorefinery using microalgal biomass cultivated on agro-marine byproducts and CO2, leveraging strains like Chlorella vulgaris and Dunaliella salina. It targets reducing greenhouse gas emissions, lowering production costs, and enhancing Europe's protein self-sufficiency.
