MacroCascade presented some of its results at #ISS2019 in Korea last week. The focus was on how to scale up low hanging fruits in relation to biorefinery. The talk was given by @OlavurG@ORainforest on behalf of the @MacroCascade consortium.
Olavur Gregersen from Ocean Rainforest told us about the @MacroCascade project, a production platform for processing marine macroalgae, aiming to extract a wide variety as possible of valuable compounds from the utilized biomass. #BIOPROSP_19#biotech#biotechnology#tromsø
More science confirming the functional health benefits of using #algae and #seaweed in animal feed. Feed trials on piglets are also conducted in the @BBI2020@MacroCascade project https://t.co/MXCTbpMZ50
It can remove CO2 & help replace fossil-based products in a time with urgent need for more sustainable solutions. This podcast from #COP24 looks into why #seaweed remains the largest untapped biomass resource. #bioeconomy#SDG#nordicsolutions@BBI2020 https://t.co/FI64Iu315o
The @BBI-JU project MacroCascade and the importance of #biorefinery of large scale #seaweed cultivation was presented at the @GlobalAquacultureAlliance annual meeting in Ecuador #goalconf18#seaweedplatform
Emily Kian from @UNC & @DukeU has spent almost four weeks working with Ocean Rainforest. By her description, having the opportunity to participate in the hands-on work of #seaweed cultivation has proven a fun and informative experience. @RobertsonPrgm
Eight years ago we deployed our first open ocean #seaweed cultivation rig, and since then Ocean Rainforest has expanded its ability to harvest, process, store and transport the product for a range of business to business customers. At the Exploration Isla…https://t.co/6QnLtRtzlT
MacroCascade had its quarterly WP leader meeting @DTUtweet on March 8, 2018. Exciting approaches on #seaweed extraction methods were presented. @BBI2020 @investinbioeco
A video has been released with comments from the participants at the “Nordic Seaweed – from research to business opportunities” that was successfully held in the @TheFaroeIslands@Tinganes#seaweed#seaweedplatform@BBI2020 @nordicinno https://t.co/tCCymOyagZ
Millions of tonnes of #plastic#waste ends up in the oceans each year. In 2016 a million plastic bottles were sold per minute! Plastic is found in a third of UK-caught #fish. We need to find biodegradable substitutes. #Seaweed is one option @macrocascade

Interesting Norwegian research about using brown #seaweed to #feed insects that then can be used as protein rich #salmon feed in #fishfarming. A real circular approach. https://t.co/ZdOIvg7NR8
