SimTech

As part of the ALGAESOL project, SIMTECH will:
–         Conduct simulations to optimize ALGAESOL processes
–         Offer its web-based process model to stakeholders and end-users for testing their own processes
–         Manage project data

Danish Technological Institute (DTI)

Continuing our introductions to the Danish Technological Institute team, Nikola Medić shares insights into their crucial role in the ALGAESOL project:

• Selecting the best microalgae strain that combines a high growth rate with efficient lipid production
•  Developing strategies to prevent contamination in the microalgae culture
•  Finding the ideal balance between high-quality lipid extraction and cost-efficiency: to ensure the production of affordable shipping and aviation biofuels

Universitat de Girona

We start 2025 with Prof. Sebastià Puig from Universitat de Girona, who shared his excitement about the ALGAESOL project and its potential to advance bioelectrochemical systems.

Leitat Technological Center

LEITAT is contributing to the development of the photoanode for sunlight harvesting, ensuring the efficiency of the process also when integrated with microalgae. Their role further extends to establishing efficient fuel purification, conducting sustainability analyses, and performing a Social Life Cycle Assessment.

NORCE, Norwegian Research Centre

Role in the project:

• Coordinating the project and leading consortium management
• Optimizing microalgae strains to enhance biooil productivity
• Conducting sustainability assessments and developing value-chain designs for scale-up strategies
