Algae biomass production within a sustainable and circular Bioeconomy

Algae are a valuable source for many innovative applications. EU scientists have analysed data on algae production in Europe, in terms of quantity, locations of production and the systems used.

Under the biomass mandate (2014), the JRC is tasked with providing the EC services, on a long-term basis, with data, models and analyses of EU and global biomass potential, supply, demand and related sustainability. Under this task, the JRC is carrying out a Biomass Assessment Study. This video explains part of the results of the study related to algae, that were synthesised by the Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy in the science for policy brief on algae biomass production, published in 2019.
