Green Growth

The project "Green Growth" aims to set up the first large-scale production plant in the Netherlands for the cultivation and sale of microalgae. Here, CO2 from the Port Industry Complex (HIC) is used and converted into valuable raw materials, such as essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins and minerals. The collaboration between Algae4You, LGEMSynalgae and GEA Process Engineering Netherlands combines expertise in microalgae cultivation and development of advanced algae breeding systems. The project aims not only to make technological progress but also to contribute to the transition to more sustainable raw materials and energy sources, whereby the high-quality raw materials produced from algae offer a plant-based alternative to traditional resources.
