The potential of microalgae as a raw material is such that, in order to cover its full extent, it should be necessary to integrate, in a common scenario, the specialized actors of the various strategic sectors involved.
AlgaEnergy, deeply convinced of this need, promoted the project CENIT VIDA (Algae Integral Valorization) which, led by its partner Iberdrola, was approved by the Spanish government in its sixth call (September 2010). The program lasted four years with EUR 19 million of allocated funding.
CENIT VIDA brought together the efforts of 14 relevant multinationals and specialized companies, the main scientific authorities and up to a total of 24 Spanish public research organizations which explored, jointly and multidisciplinarily, the potential use of microalgae.
