D-Factory

September 20, 2016

The aim of the D-Factory was to set a world benchmark for a sustainable algal biorefinery. Commercial cultivation technologies for Dunaliella microalgal biomass production were expanded with biorefinery concepts by drawing in European innovations in biomass processing technologies: combining this force with world-renowned expertise in Dunaliella cultivation and microalgal technologies, the D-Factory was able to showcase a sustainable demonstration Dunaliella algal biorefinery.  The D-Factory served as a robust manifestation for the business case for global investment in algae biorefineries and in large-scale production of microalgae using photobioreactors, algal raceways and lakes.
