Microalgae, a unique raw material
Microalgae, through photosynthesis, give us the oxygen we need to breathe. We owe them our life, but they can also improve it.
Thanks to their rich biochemical composition and properties, microalgae are a raw material of great quality and strategic value, an unparalleled raw material for developing many products that are beneficial to humans in various sectors.
They are currently being valued in sectors such as agriculture, nutrition, cosmetics and aquaculture. Their immense potential is currently being studied for application in pharmacology, in the production of biomaterials and in the energy sector, as precursors of fourth-generation biofuels.
Our facilities
Having exclusively dedicated our first eight years to applied research sourcing from more than three decades of basic R&D, today we can confidently say that one of the great accomplishments of AlgaEnergy is the successful scale-up of microalgae cultivation processes, which allows us to put innovative, competitive, sustainable and highly effective products on the market.
We have two microalgae cultivation plants. One is our Technological Platform for Experimentation with Microalgae (PTEM), located at the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport. The other is the Arcos de la Frontera plant in Cadiz, whose secondary objective is the biofixation of CO 2 through microalgal cultivation, to turn this greenhouse gas into products of high commercial interest. We also operate the UPT® Production Center, exclusively dedicated to the production of our range of agricultural biostimulants.
