Sjókovin - Blue Resource participates in a ground-breaking project about seaweed funded by Horizon Europe

Sjókovin - Blue Resource is part of a consortium, led by the Faroese Ocean Rainforest, comprising 25 international, cross-disciplinary partners that have been awarded €9 million Horizon Europe grant to upscale seaweed production and market applications across Europe. The project is titled SeaMark and started 1. July 2022 and runs for four years.

The Seamark project is about seaweed production and market applications across Europe. SeaMark aims to upscale circular ocean seaweed cultivation and produce twelve new innovative seaweed-based products within e.g. medicine, food, feeds, and cosmetics. In addition, the impact that seaweed farming has on the ecosystem will be assessed and confirmed, so we better are able to see which role seaweed farming can have in a sustainable circular economy in the future. The entire value chain will also be analyzed for techno-economic feasibility and socio-economic impact

Blue Resource has the responsibility for techno-economic analysis of the developed production processes and to make value chain and socio-economic analyses.

SeaMark started July 1, 2022, and runs for four years.
