A Set of Technologies Enables Reaching High Biomass Yield Per Square Meter with Low Energy Usage (IMAGE)
Caption
A set of technologies enables reaching high biomass yield per square meter with low energy usage and demonstrates a potential biomass production cost of USD 1/Kg. The process comprises strain selection (a), cultivation in a patent-pending cultivation system (b), concentration in geo-textile bags (c), extraction and fractionation (d) that result in oil fractions rich in Triglycerides (TGs) or EPA (an Omega-3 type fatty acid) that can be commercialized in the biofuel or the food industries respectively (e) and the remaining biomass, which is rich in protein (f) can be commercialized in the feed industry.
