CMT’s Algae World is a dedicated conference series that focuses on the entire algae value chain and its commercial viability. The program takes a holistic approach and offer an exceptional broad view of algae’s diversity and end-products. The topics are carefully selected to give you a deeper understanding of the Biology, Engineering, Marketing and Financial aspects of algae commercialization. Successfully held in Singapore, Rotterdam and Bangkok since 2008, Algae World has been recognized as an important platform for productive exchanges among the Academic, Commercial and Investment community.
As one of the world’s most useful microorganism, algal contains Protein, Lipid, Carbohydrate, Nucleic Acids which can be made into different products, such as Biodiesel, Bioethanol, Bio-jetfuel, Nutritional Supplements, Nutraceuticals, Pharmaceuticals, Aquaculture Feed and Animal Feed, Coatings, Bioplastics, Biochemicals, Fertilizers and Cosmetics. Algae are also extremely efficient at mitigating carbon dioxide (CO2). Up to 2 metric tons of CO2 can be mitigated per acre a day.
The 4th event of the series, 2nd Algae World Europe on 22-23 April in Brussels, addresses 4 key pillars of algae commercialization:
1. System Optimization for Large-scale Algae Production
2. Improving Algae Productivity and Algae Processing Efficiency
3. Development of High Value Co-Products
4. Promise and Reality of Algal Biofuels
The 2-day conference provides the latest market and technology updates, and outline technical and economics from algae production down to algae processing. PLUS, Day 2 program will include a Site Visit to SBAE Industries’ new indoor and outdoor algae cultivation facility
Key issues addressed at 2nd Algae World Europe:
- Advancements in Algae Production Tools - Open ponds, Closed Photobioreactor (PBR)
- Algae Cultivation experience of established algae producers
- Process Integration necessary to bring down production costs
- Keys to up-scaling of algae production
- Algal Biofuels Commercialization – Strategic Pathway of select projects and Technological Progress
- Algae Beyond Biofuels – Markets and Technologies for Algae in Health, Nutrition, Cosmetic, Feed sectors
- Algae's diverse roles in: Wastewater Treatment, Carbon Capture & Recycle
- Algae within the EU Renewable Energy Directive
- Algae Processing – Harvesting, Dewatering, Extraction
- Biotechnology to improve algal productivity
