Innovation &
applications
CleanAlgae2Value connects scientific research with industrial needs to develop carbon negative microalgae-based solutions suitable for real applications.
Why microalgae?
Today, the European food system faces growing challenges. From environmental pressure to increasing protein demand, innovation is needed to support a more resilient and responsible future. Microalgae utilization can be a solution moving forward. The CleanAlgae2Value project is seeking to optimize this, untapped in many ways, microalgae potential.
A versatile
bio-based resource
Microalgae can be used across different sectors, offering flexibility and sustainability.
Efficient use of
land and water
Compared to traditional crops, microalgae can be produced with lower pressure on land and water resources.
Lower environmental
impact
Microalgae-based solutions contribute to reduced emissions and support circular production models.
From microalgae to
ingredients
CleanAlgae2Value follows a complete pathway from cultivation to application, ensuring coherence across all development stages.
1. Microalgae
cultivation
Microalgae are grown under controlled conditions adapted to European contexts.
2. Processing
and fractionation
Biomass is processed to obtain fractions suitable for ingredient development.
3. Ingredient
development
Ingredients are developed with a focus on functionality, safety, and quality.
4. Testing in
real applications
Ingredients are tested in food and packaging applications to validate performance.
Where these ingredients are used
CleanAlgae2Value focuses on applications where microalgae-based ingredients can bring clear sustainability and functional benefits. The project explores uses that are relevant to everyday products and aligned with European market needs.
Food applications are a key focus, where ingredients are developed with attention to safety, quality, and performance.
Packaging applications are also explored, supporting the development of bio-based solutions that contribute to reduced environmental impact and more circular production systems.
