Foreword
This month we’re highlighting the results of two European INTERREG projects that are coming to an end, Bio Base NWE and EnAlgae.
The Bio Base NWE project had the aim of supporting the development of North-West Europe as a leading European region in the bio-based economy, resulting in sustainable growth, competitiveness in new economic sectors and creation of jobs based on the development of innovative, renewable materials and products. Over 30 business vouchers with a value between €10,000 and €30,000 were given out to companies in the region to help them scale up novel processes.
The EnAlgae project had the objective of developing sustainable technologies for algal biomass production, bioenergy and greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, by developing and sharing data from nine pilot-scale facilities across North-West Europe. The main objective was to explore the potential for algal biomass to deliver sustainable energy and resources.
