Supplying the bioeconomy takes ocean-smart infrastructure. Europe is now piloting offshore seaweed farms within wind parks, and in 2025 the first commercial-scale North Sea harvest landed, early proof that European seaweed biomass can scale without competing for land and with backing from climate-finance initiatives[1]. Meanwhile, CORDIS’ EU Research Results in Algae Innovation from 2024 shows […]

Shellfish processing generates nutrient-rich wastewater that often exceeds discharge limits, but also offers opportunities for valorisation. This study from University College Cork explores how mussel, crab, scallop, and other shellfish wastewaters can be transformed into valuable resources through circular economy approaches, such as cultivating plants or algae, supporting a zero-waste seafood industry.

A new publication from University College Cork, developed under the IMPRESS project, introduces a five-stage framework to better understand and manage wastewater from seafood processing. The findings highlight key pollution hotspots and support more sustainable treatment strategies.

Neoalgae’s CEO, Fidel Delgado, publishes in Frontiers scientific journal on Phaeodactylum tricornutum, and spirulina fucoxanthin.

IMPRESS is a Horizon Europe project focusing on zero-waste, sustainable aquatic food value chains using low trophic species and innovative circular solutions.
