IMDEA Energy participated in the 15th Mediterranean Congress of Chemical Engineering (XV-MECCE) in Barcelona, Spain, presenting key findings from the organic loading rate shock experiment conducted in the PRODIGIO project.
Silvia Greses, the main contributor to the article, presented the results, and you can read the full article here:
S. Greses, J.M. Walter, P.B. Pope, L.H. Hagen, M.Ø. Arntzen and C. González-Fernández. Warning indicators of microalgae anaerobic digestion instability upon system overloading. 15th Mediterranean Congress of Chemical Engineering (XV-MECCE) (Barcelona, Spain). 30 May – 02 June, 2023. International (ORAL). 10.48158/MeCCE-15.T3-O-04
IMDEA Energy also coordinates the YAF (Yeast-based solutions for sustainable Aviation Fuels) Project as part of the ‘Horizon-Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks.’ YAF aims to train the next generation of researchers in a highly interdisciplinary and intersectoral research environment to address upcoming challenges related to yeast-based Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) production. The research program includes the production of carbon sources from biowastes via modified anaerobic digestion.

What is Algae Culture?
Algae are a very diverse group of photosynthetic organisms that include microalgae and seaweeds (or macroalgae). As photosynthetic organisms, they use sunlight energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce biomass.
