Our Platform

Three pillars, one facility — and three ways to bring your own question to it. Explore what each part of AlgaePARC involves and how to get in touch.

01.

750 m² of lab and pilot facilities in Wageningen, open to partnerships.

Indoor cultivation: controlled photobioreactors, incubators, lab to greenhouses
Downstream and biorefinery processing
Lab and analytical infrastructure: our strong infrastructure covers over 5M€ in equipment and over 150 protocols to support our projects and research contracts

From a single cell to a working scale up. Our research covers the full development chain.

Cellular processes: how algae cells grow, store and produce compounds, so we can steer them.
Strain improvement: selecting and improving strains for yield and robustness.
Cultivation optimisation: tuning light, nutrients and reactor conditions to produce more.
Scale-up: moving a process from lab flask to pilot reactor without losing performance.
Biorefinery and product development: turning biomass into usable products.
Chain analysis and design: checking the full process makes economic and environmental sense.
Digitalisation of up and downstream, monitoring and control

We train the next generation to work with (micro)algae, from students to industry professionals.

A direct project between your organisation and AlgaePARC, built around your specific question.

For a company or institute with a defined R&D question. You get a dedicated team, confidentiality, and IP terms agreed up front.

Join a multi-partner programme that shares cost, risk and expertise around a common theme.

For partners who want reach beyond a single project. Pooling academic and industry expertise stretches your budget and de-risks the work.

Run your own trials on our equipment, with our staff and expertise on site.

For companies that need pilot-scale testing without building the infrastructure themselves. Bring your process, use our reactors and people.
