European Microalgae Alliance: Innovative, Safe, And Sustainable Multiproduct Biorefineries For A Blue Biobased Economy

Description The European algae industry has grown significantly over recent decades, primarily serving niche high-value markets such as food supplements and nutraceuticals. However, with the increasing demand for alternative food ingredients and bio-based chemicals—driven by the EU’s push towards a bio-based economy—the market for microalgae-based products is expected to expand. Despite this potential, high production […]

Biogenic CO2 capture into Sustainable Energy Carriers: A novel photosynthetic and hydrogenotrophic CO2 fixation combined with waste nutrient upcycling for production of carbon negative energy

Description This research project endeavours to pioneer a biological solution for mitigating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from effluent gases produced by bioenergy combustion systems. The primary focus is on converting the captured CO2 into carbon-negative energy carriers, specifically emphasizing the photosynthetic conversion of biogenic CO2 into energy-rich biomass. The transformation of this biomass into widely […]
