The new fish-free feed is the first to demonstrate across-the-board gains in sustainability, performance, economic viability, and human health.
Highlighting recent findings in observation and modelling, and discussing knowledge gaps and challenges
EU research project with the participation of the University of Hohenheim searches for new, sustainable food additives and packaging materials from seaweeds and seagrasses.
A ‘women’s pastime’ practised by Queen Victoria, ‘seaweeding’ spread from the UK to California – now the samples are providing a glimpse into history
Fish are food. We know that. And yet, in discussions about the future of food, that simple fact tends to be forgotten. When world leaders gather for the UN Food System Summit next year, fish and other aquatic foods need to be on the table.
The COASTAL Biogas project objective is to provide solutions based on anaerobic digestion of cast seaweed to coastal regions to tackle eutrophication, contribute to the transition to a circular bio-economy and improve prosperity.
How Galicia's fertile ocean offers its people the finest flavours of the sea
Its true potential, yet to be exploited, lies in its use for the production of food for human consumption (pasta, bread, soups and vegetable creams ...) and animal feed.
An enzyme made by bacteria living on seaweed is being used to make environmentally-friendly laundry detergents.
Best performing “fish-free” diet contains algae oil rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids.
Biodegradable shoes meet commercial standards for products needed to help eradicate tons of plastic waste
Researchers of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) in collaboration with Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) completed an international joint project to create a resource and CO2-neutral energy closed-loop technology from microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana and duckweed Lemna minor.
An optical fiber made of agar has been produced at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. This device is edible, biocompatible and biodegradable. It can be used in vivo for body structure imaging, localized light delivery in phototherapy or optogenetics (e.g., stimulating neurons with light to study neural circuits in a living brain), and localized drug delivery.
Scientists from the Tel Aviv University used microscopic algae to produce hydrogen from plants which, if further researched, may lead to using plants to produce electricity.
Ocean explores Europe's growing seaweed sector meeting the farmers trying to put the industry on the map.
In line with the European Green Deal, algae farming can support sustainable economic growth, employment and the bioeconomy in coastal regions and across Europe.
On June 11, 2020, the European Commission published “The EU Blue Economy Report 2020”, an overview of the performance of the EU economic sectors related to oceans and the coastal environment. With a turnover of €750 billion in 2018, the EU blue economy is in good health.
From research comes a green solution to ensure safe distancing at the beach in the COVID-19 post-emergency phase. The idea is to use Posidonia oceanica, a marine plant present in large quantities on the Mediterranean shores, to create ecological safety barriers.
Scientists have created the first ever large-scale map of microscopic algae as they bloomed across the surface of snow along the Antarctic Peninsula coast. Results indicate that this ‘green snow’ is likely to spread as global temperatures increase.
While algae have received attention for their potential to displace fossil fuels as an energy source, their applications in packaging and other products are beginning to gain momentum.
