MULTISTR3AM
A sustainable multi-strain, multi-method, multi-product microalgae biorefinery integrating industrial side streams to create high-value products for food, feed and fragrance
The MULTI-STR3AM project was initiated by the need to switch to sustainable ways of producing food, feed and raw materials. Microalgae have enormous biosynthetic potential and are a rich source of lipids, proteins and high-value compounds. Project focuses on the potential to increase production technologically and biologically while reducing costs, providing valuable products for large end-users in the food, feed and fragrance industries. The project reduces costs, increases cultivation scale and sustainability through:
- Improving suitable microalgae strains using NON GMO techniques.
- Reducing CAPEX and OPEX through design and engineering of cultivation technology.
- Utilization of by-products in the spirit of circular economy.
- Valorisation of all biomass by a zero-waste approach.
| Start of the project: | 01. 05. 2020 |
| End of the project: | 30. 04. 2025 |
| Project budget: | € 9 179 688 |
