Algea: first algea congres in the Netherlands

May 27 2008 the first congress on the future of algea was held (www.algencongres.nl). Science, Production/processing and applications were adressed by many keynotespeakers. The efficient production of biodiesel from algea is far away but CO2 compensation is a topic. The use of several algea produced in an open or closed environment systems offer many promising opportunities for feed and food. For dairy cattle algea as a feedadditive can increase the amount of unsaturated fatty acids in milk. There are legal presently to feed algea to cattle but these are expected to be lifted. Ingrepro introduced the algea ‘Power farms’ principle. Ronald van Giessen
