Organa Espirulina / Blauver Foods

- High quality dehydrated spirulina: it's 100% spirulina dehydrated at 40% it's presented as crunchy mini-noodles that can be introduced easily in the normal dishes. - Fresh spirulina: it's recent recolected spirulina, in a kind of pat. The main weak point it's last 7 days in the refrigerator, but it's also its strong point, as not imported spirulina can compete with it. Now we are working with IRTA to increase it's life....

Origin by Ocean Flagship biorefinery for invasive and sustainably cultivated seaweeds

Origin by Ocean is a deep-technology biorefinery company. With our technology we can utilize any brown algae, enabling us to utilize those invasive brown algae species that have the most negative effect on the marine environment and those cultivated brown algae which provide the most positive ecosystem services. We thus revive the oceans with profit, addressing the global multibillion environmental challenge of artificial nutrient overload of our oceans. We turn this environmental challenge into an opportunity in our multiproduct high efficiency biorefineries. We produce biobased ingredients such as emulsifiers and pigments for fast moving goods manufacturers within food, beverage, brewery, cosmetics, dairy and domestic detergents. We are building a billion euro company and global market leader in the nutrient removal and algae biorefining business.

P-Demo

Our demonstrator technology, P-Demo, integrates a 4.3 MW Wind Turbine Generator (WTG), a 0.8 MW Wave Energy Converter (WEC) system, and a hydrogen system comprising a 1 MW electrolyzer, 48 MWh of energy storage, and a 1.2 MW fuel cell. P-Demo is set to become the world’s first wind-wave-hydrogen unit, and it will be deployed at PLOCAN’s test site in Spain. This innovative system is projected to deliver 11.05 Gigawatt hours (GWh) per year of renewable electricity to the grid, avoiding a total of 25,557 tonnes of CO2 equivalent during its first 10 years of operation, with a remarkable 100% relative greenhouse gas (GHG) emission avoidance.
