MAGNIFICENT is a European project (BBI JU) that seeks to develop a new value chain for food, aquafeed and cosmetic ingredients based on microalgae. Currently, market opportunities for microalgae-based products are restricted to high-value products, as production costs are currently prohibitive to use it as a feedstock. There is an existing capacity for large scale […]

As part of the European BIOFAT project, AlgoSource Technologies has relied on the team and means of AlgoSolis and GEPEA to convert the biomass produced by the BIOFAT consortium into biofuels. Biodiesel was thus produced after extraction of the lipids from the Nannochloropsis microalga, and bioethanol was produced from the sugars of the Tetraselmis microalga. […]

POLYSALGUE is an interdisciplinary research project funded by the ANR to explore the potential for the production of soluble polysaccharides of original structures produced by microalgae. The project aims to better understand the potential of microalgae polysaccharides for application as hydrocolloids (texture agents in most consumer products) and biological assets. Contribution of GEPEA and the […]

In the framework of the industrial project AlgoRaff, GEPEA laboratory and AlgoSolis R&D facility work in collaboration with AlgoSource Technologies for the development of an integrated biorefinery for the production of various bio-products from Spirulina. The originality of this project concerns the advanced and optimized valorization of Spirulina biomass in multiple products, considering that Spirulina […]
