Abstract

AlgaEnergy is a Spanish biotech-based company exclusively focused on microalgae, photosynthesis microorganisms with high biomass productivity and high capacity for CO2 biofixation. Microalgae biomass is natural source of proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and other compounds such as minerals or carotenoids, having application in many sectors, including agriculture, food and feed, cosmetics, aquaculture, energy, and pharmaceutical, among others. AlgaEnergy develops R&I projects that result in products and solutions for all those sectors that can contribute to improve the quality of life of population through a circular and sustainable business model.
