European Commission opens online consultation on EU algae roadmap

In Belgium, the European Commission has published an online consultation on its roadmap towards a strong and sustainable EU algae sector.

The more learned about algae, the more opportunities discovered. They are a resource of highly nutritious food and feed, but also serve as a feedstock for pharmaceuticals, bioplastics, fertilizers and biofuels – all at a low environmental and climate impact. Needless to say that they are a perfect match for the Commission’s long-term growth strategy, the European Green Deal.

Until January 18, 2021, we welcome your opinion on our roadmap, which presents a number of possible policy options and lists the economic, social and environmental impact of more algae production in Europe.
