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. […]
Biogas production from grass is possible, but it suffers from several technical hurdles like litter and sand content, floating layers and fibers getting caught in the digester’s impellers. Therefore, the GRASSIFICATION project is proposing a low-cost, bulk cell for biogas production from roadside grass clippings. […]
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. […]
The last of the three photobioreactors to be constructed by the Interreg NWE funded ALG-AD project is now up and running in Ghent and is already growing biomass. […]

Are you wondering how to deal with excess digestate? Would you like access to a potential solution? Are you interested in developing a circular economy? Would you like to develop a new revenue stream for your business? […]
In the framework of the LA project Pocket Power, the greenhouse gas emission reduction potential through farm-scale anaerobic digestion was studied. An anaerobic digestion model was set up and applied to estimate desired methane production in the form of biogas as well as unwanted methane emissions associated with farm-scale digestion of manure. […]

AD plant managers/owners and novel feed producers are being invited to join the ALG-AD project at a workshop which will be held in December at its pilot facility in Oostkamp, Belgium. […]

Roadside grass clippings are a problem fraction throughout the 2 Seas Programme area due to their high volume, subject to high processing costs. The industrial sector, however, is interested in the possibility of using roadside grass clippings as an alternative resource for the production of energy and bio-materials. […]
An 800-litre photobioreactor was installed at INNOLAB premises, Oostkamp (Belgium), as part of the Investment site 3 of the ongoing Interreg NWE project ALG-AD. The first phase of construction and water testing was successfully completed during the third week of June. […]
