AlgaeLink

AlgaeLink started in 2007 with a prime objective of offering a robust, highly effective photobioreactor for the cultivation of algae. Extensive research over a number of years has proven that algae is a high-value commodity and extremely beneficial for use in a large number of markets, including the Food (e.g. nutraceuticals, food additives), Feed (e.g. aquaculture feed) and Fuel industry. Algae farms offer great solutions for CO2 and Waste Water emission problems too.

AlgaeLink NV is a Dutch Company that designs and manufactures algae growing equipment and cultivates algae for various global markets. AlgaeLink is building a world-wide supply chain and partner network that is sustainable and delivers value to our global customers. Our operations cover algae production, equipment, consultancy, installation support and training.

Algae Research


Algae are photosynthetic organisms that occur in most habitats. They vary from small, single-celled forms to complex multicellular forms, such as the giant kelps that grow to 65 meters in length.. The US Algal Collection is represented by almost 300,000 accessioned and inventoried herbarium specimens.
