Vertical Algae

Where the source unlocks the Power of Sustainability

What is it about?

As a leading institution in the field of ocean science and technological innovation Vertical Algae it is an innovative project based on the growing a vertical algae – as a solution for the efficient and sustainable production of biomass. With the support of the The plan of Recovery and Resiliencythe project aims to turn the algae into functional ingredients of the highest valueapplications in industries such as: food, cosmetics, and health care.

Why is that?

Sustainability is on the rise: Solutions for farming with a low impact on the environment.
Innovation, cross-sectional: Applications in multiple industries with a high potential in the market.
The valuation of natural resources: Algae as the raw materials of strategic value for the future.

Goals

Develop a new species of algae with the nutrient profiles are optimized.
Produce functional ingredients and refined applications nutracêuticas and cosmecêuticas.
Implement the processes of bioremediation based on algae, thus contributing to the regeneration of the environment.
