Microalgae and cyanobacteria produce varied products like proteins, lipids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, pigments and therapeutic proteins, using only light, CO2, water and nutrients. To exploit this potential and bring these products to market, microalgae cultivation needs to be scaled up and become more cost-effective. The summer school course “Microalgae Process Design – from Cells to

Algae have great potential as a renewable alternative to conventional sources for feed, agrochemicals, and other products. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) supports determining whether these algae-based products are more eco-friendly than their conventional counterparts. But how can we best navigate the variety of methods and data sources available for process selection to model production, resource
