Microalgae cultivation by efficient carbon capture and wastewater recycling to boost growth via a CO2 fixation process while contributing to greenhouse gas reduction.

Microalgae conversion into biocrude, eliminating costly processes and offering an eco-friendly method for algae-to-biofuel production.

SUSTEPS emphasizes the importance of maximizing biocrude yield and effectively valorizing all components of the biocrude to meet market standards.

SUSTEPS

Sustainable, Secure and Competitive Biofuels

The SUSTEPS project is a comprehensive initiative focused on advancing the sustainable production of biofuels from microalgae. It addresses the entire value chain of this innovative process, aiming to identify and overcome challenges while maximizing opportunities. The project involves various key elements, including microalgae cultivation and carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation, processing microalgae into biocrude, upgrading biocrude, producing green hydrogen, and valorizing aqueous streams.
