The tiny single-celled, plantlike organisms known as algae are more efficient than other organisms at converting sunlight and carbon dioxide into the raw materials needed for foods, products and fuels. And not just a few specialized fuels.

An EU-funded project about increasing microalgae biomass production is underway
We are pleased to announce the start of an EU-funded project where its goal is to develop new technologies (or knowledge) to increase microalgae biomass production; hence advance the research for more sustainable bio-fuels.
La UAL participa en el proyecto PRODIGIO para mejorar y estabilizar la producción industrial de microalgas
En enero de este año ha comenzado el proyecto europeo PRODIGIO, en el que participa la Universidad de Almería, que en los próximos tres años espera dar un impulso a la producción de microalgas a escala industrial.
