Development goals

Norges Vels development project, aims to find
and map the potential regarding a Norwegian
algae cultivation, processes and products-

The vision Is to contribute in the establishing of a
competitive Norwegian industry with growing,
processing and products algae as a recourses

•   Locate opportunities to use algae direct or indirect
    as a new resource in products, processes

•   Work to enhance the blue - green cooperation
    that require knowledge of plant and marine
    technology knowledge

                                                           3

operationalize these goals??

•   Norges Vel take initiative to be partners
    in projects with producers, users and
    research and development relevant to
    local communities

•   Commercialization of R & D results

•   Work towards a long-term and favorable

Value chain development- what's
    our role?

•   coordinate relevant actors and networks
•   aims to be the bridge between research and industry
    by applying research results in the development of eg
    algae industry in Norway

•   support the small, medium and existing companies to
    develop the sector further, based on research results

•   Developing pilot that can be models for future
    entrepreneurs.

Pilots

Pilots demonstrates very effectively if research and
development results are ready for commercialization
regarding different value chains; products,
production processes, raw materials, etc.

The pilots also provides knowledge and data
concerning future use of resources, knowledge,
needs and interpersonal skills between the involved
actors.

Pilots demonstrates effectively how value
chains can develop, both high end products and
volume based products.

                                                       8
Pilots

The pilots we are engaged in includes all parts (algae)
value chain, with the aim to demonstrate the
production cycle,
production processes
products ready for market.

mapping the extent to which coastal industries,
agricultural sector and (other) producers can be
involved as potential growers and markets for algae
products.

We search for both local entrepreneurs and bigger
ventures

PILOT VAL vgs.

                 10
Preliminary Val vgs. pilot project

    The pilot project will prepare the ground for a pilot plant to
    demonstrate algae cultivation in the sea in the direction of Val vgs,
    educational, industrial development in the region.
    Project partners: Bellona and Bioforsk nord

    Use in teaching in Val vgs.
•   Tracing how the pilot can be adapted for instruction on Vg1/Vg2
•   Planning how the pilot can be used to build up expertise and networks within algal
    cultivation

    Future industrial development
•   Estimation of the potential for local economic development in the region and new jobs for
    algal cultivation and supply chain
•   Initial assessment of the actors in the region who are interested in algae cultivation, and
    the involvement of the most relevant actors.

                                                                                 11

For the future

Challenges-
What we need to solve to break the barriers from
research to commerce marked
Who is the potential producers?
Small scale vs. industrial scale production
High value products vs. low value products
Norwegian marked?
Is there a will?

Marked-
Access to information and technology
Efficiency knowledge transfers
Upscale? Marked? Value?
