Info

TNO is running an industrial consortium, named GAIA, together with algae producers and end-users of algae ingredients to focus on processing of algae biomass and make the application of algae ingredients feasible. TNO has important know-how in opening algae and separating ingredients like proteins, oil and carbohydrates energy-effectively on a lab scale. This know-how will be used for scaling up to an industrial pilot. Furthermore, a mobile algae biorefinery will be fully operational in Q2 2014.
