We seek to scale-up a cutting-edge technology-based research pipeline that will contribute to the development of a sustainable biorefinery process developed by Origin by Ocean Oy. Cyanobacteria blooms collected from nature will be used as feedstock. University of Helsinki will contribute to the identification of cyanobacteria, scaling-up harvesting of biomass, water removal, and characterizing biomolecules of interest. These biomolecules have applications in food, beverages, cosmetics, and the chemical industry.
