MULTISTR3AM
A sustainable multi-strain, multi-method, multi-product microalgae biorefinery integrating industrial side streams to create high-value products for food, feed and fragrance
The MULTI-STR3AM project was initiated by the need to switch to sustainable ways of producing food, feed and raw materials. Microalgae have enormous biosynthetic potential and are a rich source of lipids, proteins and high-value compounds.  Project focuses on the potential to increase production technologically and biologically while reducing costs, providing valuable products for large end-users in the food, feed and fragrance industries.  The project reduces costs, increases cultivation scale and sustainability through: 
  • Improving suitable microalgae strains using NON GMO techniques. 
  • Reducing CAPEX and OPEX through design and engineering of cultivation technology. 
  • Utilization of by-products in the spirit of circular economy. 
  • Valorisation of all biomass by a zero-waste approach.
