Professor of Molecular Plant Biology Yagut Allahverdiyeva-Rinne explains how new algae research projects are turning industrial effluent into valuable algae biomass.

The AlgaCircle project, funded by Business Finland, aims to create an innovative circular economy concept that produces food, feed and agrochemicals from microalgae. The project has received over €1 million in funding.

The new AlgaTECH algae production facility at the University of Turku uses greenhouse or industrial waste water to produce ecological and cost-effective algal biomass. The researchers are developing new and suitable uses for algae biomass. The aim is to promote the Nordic bio-industry.
