Overview
Founded in April 2008, AlgMax GmbH with headquarters in Zug, Switzerland, develops, commercialises and markets technologies for the production of biomass from algae grown in closed systems.
The algae biomass can be used in various areas, such as
- Biodiesel from algae oil:
The oil contained in the algae is used for the produciton of biodiesel.
- Animal feedstuff:
After extracting the algae oil the remaining protein rich algae biomass can be used as an excellent animal feedstuff.
- Raw material for biogas plants:
The algae biomass can be used in biogas plants as a raw material for the generation of electricity in combined heat and power (CHP) plants.
Contrary to other algae technologies, such as open ponds or expensive photo-bioreactors, this innovative technology using closed systems, requires much less light and agricultural land to grow the algae.
