The NNFCC in the scope of ALG-AD project produced a first report exploring EU legislation relevant to the microalgae production value chain, focusing on the rules that apply to microalgae for use as feed material. This document will be soon publicly available. […]
Over the last 12 months, Biorefinery Glas, one of Europe’s first small-scale biorefinery demonstration projects, has been working with farmers in Ireland to show how new products and revenue streams can be created using a new farmer-centric bioeconomy approach. Core project partners include research institutes (Institute of Technology, Tralee and University College Dublin) and agri-food organisations (Carbery Group and Barryroe Co-operative), along with core technology partner GRASSA BV.

The Investment site 3 of Interreg NWE ALG-AD project is located within the premises of Innolab CVBA, Oostkamp, Belgium (about 90 km North-West of Brussels). The pilot facility is accommodated in a polycarbonate greenhouse and is comprised of a bag (paper) filtration unit for liquid fraction of digestate pre-treatment, a 2600-litre vertical reactor (VR) and a 600-litre horizontal bioreactor (HR) operated in batch mode. A mixed culture of Chlorella sp. and Desmodesmus sp. has been selected for the pilot-scale investigations after a pre-screening research from five different microalgal species conducted at labs of Ghent University (UGent).

The ALG-AD project team has been continuously active during the lockdown period. The remote working conditions didn’t stop the development of modelling tools, based on real data from microalgal experiments. These modelling tools will be used by the relevant stakeholders interested in the scalable cultivation of microalgae as a solution to remediate digestate and create a valuable biomass. […]
The ALG-AD project, like most across Europe, has been forced to shut down the majority of our facilities – and so, for now, much of our biomass production and lab work has stopped. […]
Colleagues from Belgium and France travelled to South Wales at the start of the New Year for an open day and workshop at the ALG-AD facilities in Swansea University. […]
