Currently, most efforts for the culturing of spirulina is in so-called raceway ponds, tubular reactors or at plate reactors. However, for cultivation in the northe
hemisphere or in an urban environment we believe LED-based technology is vital. For this reason, we are currently optimizing several innovative photobioreact
concepts for the mass-production of spirulina in Europe.

A truly sustainable food source

The value chains of the current food industry are complex, long and inherently inef cient. All around the equator, forests are being chopped down to produce so
that is used to feed cattle on the other side of our planet. This makes modern agriculture the highest greenhouse gas emitter in the world and responsible for 75
of worldwide deforestation. Our fresh spirulina paste production process can drastically shorten these chains by producing food much more ef ciently and with
city centers, close to the consumer. We turn these greenhouse gasses into oxygen and produce healthy, sustainable food.

LED technology
Our innovative photobioreactors are capable of ef ciently producing very high amounts of spirulina per hectare. By using LED powered reactors we can sca
vertically instead of horizontally, reducing the land-use of algae cultivation by a factor of 50. Our highly ef cient LEDs are water cooled to make them even mo
ef ciënt and all the waste heat that is produced is being used to warm up our building.
