Samenvatting

Seaweed-based solutions can offer a valuable contribution in addressing today’s challenges such as climate change, food availability and finding alternatives to fossil-based value chains. To achieve this, the European seaweed sector needs to scale-up, and devise smart solutions to make the production process more efficient. That’s why 6 partners - The Seaweed Company, Murre Technologies, HZ University of Applied Sciences, Ghent University, GEOxyz and North Sea Farmers - started 1 July 2019 the Flemish-Dutch Interreg project ‘Wier&Wind’. This project has successfully completed a pilot to cultivate seaweed in the Offshore Test Site, a representative location for learning how to scale-up seaweed production in wind farms on the North Sea.
