MC Automated Cultivation of Biomass Presented by Festo 1 400

Automated Cultivation of Biomass Presented by Festo

 

Algae are small climate savers. Even in their natural state they are extremely efficient photosynthesizers and absorb ten times more carbon dioxide (CO₂) than land plants. In bioreactors equipped with appropriate sensors, control technology and automation, the efficiency of algae can be increased to a hundred times that of land plants. This shows that they have a significant potential for a climate-neutral circular economy. With the PhotoBionicCell research project Festo is demonstrating a potential approach for the industrial biologisation of tomorrow at the Hannover Fair.
