PhycoSystems is a research project which targets to cultivate algae in an industrial scale. We develop a photobioreactor as a process innovation being able to cultivate especially a variety of microalgae strains with artificial light. Advantages of the bioreactor are the independency from arable land and weather, so that microalgae can be cultivated everywhere, where power is available. Our vision is to achieve minimum production costs at a high quality of microalgae.
