Collaboration with Wageningen University for Sustainable Algae Research
We are very excited to share that we are collaborating with Wageningen University! Together we are researching which types of algae are best at capturing CO₂ and producing valuable nutrients such as proteins, oils, carbohydrates, and antioxidants.
Why algae?
Algae are true climate heroes. They grow very quickly, require hardly any farmland, and convert CO₂ more efficiently than almost any other plant. And not only that — they can simultaneously produce high-quality nutrients that can be used in food, animal feed, cosmetics, and even sustainable materials.
The perfect mix
This makes algae a perfect blend of sustainability, innovation and social responsibility. We believe that algae will play a key role in the transition to a greener economy. And now that we are working together with Wageningen University & Research, we can better discover which species truly make a difference.
We cannot wait to show what new insights this collaboration will bring and how this contributes to a cleaner, greener future.
More than 60 years of experience
At Wageningen University, we have access to state-of-the-art facilities, where our Aligma team — with more than 60 years of combined experience in algae research — is hard at work. Think of advanced bioreactors, high-tech laboratories, and the latest analysis techniques to understand algae down to the molecular level.
We have brought together a great group of experts to make this mission a success. Our goal?
Using algae to make a positive impact on the environment, biodiversity, the climate, and future generations.
With the knowledge and technology of Wageningen, combined with our own expertise in algae applications, we are convinced that we can take great steps towards innovative, sustainable products.
What does this mean for you?
Through this collaboration, we can develop products that:
- are produced even more sustainably ,
- are richer in nutrients,
- are fully traceable from lab to final product,
- and contribute to a lower CO₂ footprint.
