Algae are small climate savers. Even in their natural state they are extremely efficient photosynthesizers and absorb ten times more carbon dioxide (CO₂) than land plants. In bioreactors equipped with appropriate sensors, control technology and automation, the efficiency of algae can be increased to a hundred times that of land plants. This shows that they have a significant potential for a climate-neutral circular economy. With the PhotoBionicCell ...

Festo and Q.ANT, a wholly owned subsidiary of TRUMPF, are entering into a strategic partnership to cultivate biomass on an industrial scale. The two companies aim to achieve this using a combination of automation technology from Festo and quantum technology from Q.ANT. Algae offers significant potential in this context.

Les algues sont de petits sauveurs du climat. Même à l'état naturel, ce sont des photosynthétiseurs extrêmement efficaces qui absorbent dix fois plus de dioxyde de carbone (CO₂) que les plantes terrestres. Dans les bioréacteurs équipés de capteurs appropriés, de pilotage adequat et d'automatisation, l'efficacité des algues peut être portée à cent fois ...
