Summary A sustainable future bioeconomy requires automated and widely usable, easy-to-use technologies based
on local resources and becoming as energy efficient as possible. Photosynthetically growing, i.e. sunlightusing
microalgae offer enormous potential for concepts that to make use of waste heat, CO2, or waste
water, to close nutrient cycles (P, N) toward crop plants and/or deliver high quality biomass as a possible
resource for numerous applications. To date, these cycle-closing processes are not yet sufficiently
implemented, but they are crucial for a future infrastructure exploring microbial biomass usage. Algnutrient-
UrBioSol will deliver energy-, handling- and cost efficient photobioreactors, using new technologies: hybrid
solar concepts and light-dispersing nano-hydrogel cultivation. This will provide highly automated biomass
production as well as an interface between mass flows, use available synergies and enhance the
knowledge base for the application of microorganism-based production processes significantly.
