Project Title: Valoralgae
Project Name: VALORALGAE: closing the value chain in marine aquaculture through the algae washed ashore energy recovery.
Programme: This project is developed with the collaboration of Fundación Biodiversidad, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, through the pleamar Program, co-financed by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund, EMFF.
Budget Allocation: € 78,262.39
Duration: 2020-2021
Objective: Valorization of algae washed ashore through its transformation into biofuels that allow obtaining renewable energy. The recovery options selected are: transformation into a gaseous renewable fuel (biogas) through anaerobic digestion, and the use of algae as solid fuel (pellets) in a boiler.
