AlgeNatura

The green feed

revolution

Our bioreactors function like high-tech underwater greenhouses, enabling rapid algae cultivation through precise use and control of light, CO2, temperature, and nutrients.

AlgeNatura wants to

make a difference in

agriculture and

aquaculture

Our vision is to be a leading supplier of sustainable sources of nutrients for the feed industry. Local production, local supply, local feed, but a global strategy.

What else do we gain?

Life on land

Reducing the pressure on forest areas.
Increasing self-sufficiency of vital feed ingredients.

Life below water

Reducing the pressure on already exploited fisheries. Contributing directly to increasing sustainable fisheries and indirectly to reduce pollution and acidification.

Partnerships for the goals

Multi-stakeholder partnership to share and access knowledge, technology, and innovation. AlgeNatura will partner with companies that have waste which can be used as input in production (CO₂ and water), and with downstream players to accelerate innovation in the feed industry.

Good health and well-being

Adding nutrients important to human health in feed production leads to improved and healthier products for human consumption.

Climate action

Using CO₂ and renewable energy as input in the production process

Industry, innovation and infrastructure

Reducing the CO₂ emissions per NOK of GDP as part of developing a circular economy.

Founders and allies

AlgeNatura was founded in autumn 2020 by the Norwegian company Algæ AS and Icelandic SagaNatura ehf. and aims to help solve the major challenges in today's feed production.

Green future industry in Rjukan

Rjukan could become a showcase for industrial symbiosis, where one business's emissions and waste become input materials for another.

Sustainable chicken feed

We're going to use CO2 emissions from Herøya as a carbon source for our algae production. By also making use of the wastewater from cooling the industrial plants, we'll cut costs while creating a truly circular approach to resource use.

Based on Herøya,

AlgeNatura is a technology

company specializing in

microalgae production.

We take waste and emissions from other companies on the island and turn them into sustainable feed ingredients, becoming a provider of algae-based protein and fatty acids to the feed industry. AlgeNatura is building industrial-scale production facilities to produce microalgae to be included in poultry and aquaculture feed.

Funds from Telemark Development Fund (TUF), with its purpose of contributing to sustainable business development, have been crucial for us to deliver algae biomass today.
