Multiplying feasible microalgae-derived products at scale
The MULTIPLY project aims to prove the sustainable and economically viable cultivation of microalgae, coupled with efficient biorefinery processes across Europe. The project explores the cultivation and application of several microalgae species—such as Spirulina, Nannochloropsis, and Tetraselmis—for use in diverse sectors including food, feed, cosmetics, biomaterials, and lubricants.
By testing and optimizing these systems in both Southern (e.g. Spain, Italy) and Northern (e.g. Denmark, Norway) European environments, MULTIPLY intends to:
· Reduce production costs and resource use
· Increase productivity and circularity
· Develop 10 algae-based, mid-price market-ready products
· Improve environmental and economic sustainability
· Promote public acceptance and market readiness
