Swedish Algae Factory

Swedish Algae Factory was founded on many years of research by Professor Angela Wulff and itsresearch team, in combination with Sofie Allert’s entrepreneurial drive. In 2014, it started touse diatom’s unique traits in the industry and has been growing as a company since 2016.

Swedish Algae Factory operates in harmony with nature, in real-time. It cultivates itsown algae, based on a circular economic mindset where carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and phosphorus emissions areconverted into valuable products.

Through controlled algae bloom in itsfactory, it prevents nitrogen and phosphorus from overfertilizing our seas and oceans. In the process, we also clean water and produce a shell material that can be utilized to for example enhance the efficiency of solar panels, as a UV filter in sunscreens, or for uptake and release of chemical substances in a variety of products. The organic biomass can e.g. be used as more sustainably produced feed and fertilizers.

By 2030, its goal is to have many Swedish Algae Factories up and running worldwide, contributing to a more sustainable industry.
