Imagine using the ocean as a giant garden that doesn't need fresh water or chemicals to grow. This project turns seaweed and microalgae from the North and Baltic seas into high-value ingredients for things we use every day. It's like creating a blueprint for companies to swap synthetic materials for ocean-grown alternatives.
Companies struggle to find sustainable, scalable bio-based alternatives to synthetic chemicals and plastics that don't compete with food crops for land and water.
A platform for product development and market exploitation, along with internal and external communication platforms. They also developed 8 market-ready algae products.
If you are a natural skincare brand dealing with the high cost of synthetic additives — this project developed 8 innovative algae-based products that provide sustainable, high-quality bio-based alternatives. This allows you to meet the rising demand for green healthy natural consumer goods.
If you are a sustainable fashion manufacturer dealing with polluting dyes or fibers — this project developed algae-based solutions for textiles. This helps you transition to circular bio-based goods without using arable land or pesticides.
If you are a bio-fertilizer producer dealing with the need for non-chemical plant stimulants — this project developed plant biostimulants using macro and microalgae. This provides a biomass resource that requires no fresh water or added fertilisers.
Based on available project data, specific unit costs are not provided, but the project involves a budget of over €12 million to develop these market-ready solutions.
Yes, the project focuses on scaling up production in the Baltic and North Sea areas through 6 business pilots to create both commodity and sophisticated products.
Based on available project data, the project provides a platform for product development and market exploitation, though specific licensing terms are not detailed.
The project aligns with the Mission Ocean goals to ensure social and environmental sustainability and circularity in the algae sector.
The project runs from 2023-04-01 to 2027-03-31, aiming to bring 8 products to market at TRL 7-9.
The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with 11 industrial partners (41% ratio), including 10 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 8 universities and 6 research centers across 11 countries, indicates a high focus on commercial viability rather than just academic research.
