In the project “Large-scale production line for the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis”we work together with Astaco Technologies and APT on the scale up of astaxanthin production from the microalgae H. pluvialis in photobioreactors. Astaxanthin is a valuable red antioxidant that is used for example for the pink coloration of farmed salmon. https://www.astaco-technologies.com/en/efro/ More information: Hellen Elissen […]

In this project, ACRRES takes part in a network of algae pilots in Northwest Europe. Regarding the subject of microalgae, work was focused on designing a benchmark for installations; one of these algae installations can be found on the ACRRES site. A report was published in 2014 ​​with models developed in this project, for algae […]

The Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids project is an EU project and is about producing polyunsaturated fatty acids from algae. It explores whether the production of PUFAs by microalgae is a good alternative for the production and marketing of fish oil. ACRRES is working on this project together with partner organisations from Germany, Austria and Portugal. ACRRES […]

In this project indicators are collected on the production and processing of algae. Innovations in harvest technique, exposure and processing are being tested. The production of algae in open ponds and in an open LED-basin is monitored. Important points here are the control of grazers and reduction of energy consumption. For the harvest we mainly […]

On behalf of the Innovation Network, ACRRES supports the development of the first closed cycle farm according to the so-called Ecoferm concept. In a veal farm in Uddel, a duckweed pond has been realised in the attic of a calf barn. The aim of the project was to optimise the duckweed pond and the elaboration […]

The report about the potential of algae as feed has been produced in collaboration with Nevedi and Natuur en Milieu (Nature and Environment) in early 2015. In response to this report, an alliance is under preparation with feed mills and the report is used to demonstrate the effect of adding algae to feed in Dutch […]
