A project on the production of algae. Algae can be used as alternative raw material, but the problem is the use of energy and nutrients in the production. In the ALCHEMIS project the production of algae based on flue gasses and waste water is examined. Besides the production of algae also the harvesting is examined and an assessment is made of the market for algae.
