Simris Alg at the Algae Biomass Summit

The annual Algae Biomass Summit was held in Denver, Colorado during the 23-27th of September. ABS is the biggest event of the algae industry with more than 800 participants this year, and of course Simris Alg was there. CEO Fredrika Gullfot held a presentation about commercialisation in a panel with representatives from Boeing, IATA and MARC-IV Consulting.

The algae industry has developed a great deal during the three years that we have been taking part in this conference. Several of the large algae companies have set their plants in place and will now start delivering. The business models have evolved and some have broadened their product portfolios from exclusively “green crude” (algae oil for bio fuel) to more expensive products within foods and cosmetics.
