Title
CliPA: Climate-neutral offshore production of algal biomass
General information
This is a feasibility study on the sustainable production of biomass in the sea, which reduces ongoing nutrient enrichment in the Baltic Sea and at the same produces time fertiliser and energy in an environmentally friendly way. The project is being carried out in close cooperation between science and society. The long-term goal is to reduce nutrients and carbon by macroalgae in offshore cultures and to use the biomass produced as a recyclable material, fertiliser and/or biogas raw material on land, with the initial focus on the bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus). Some of these applications reduce the nutrient input by agriculture, others reduce land use for crops (e.g. maize, oilseed rape) that are mainly used for production, rape), which are mainly used to produce biomass as an energy source.
