Description

The dataset provides information on the algae producing industry in Europe, covering macroalgae, microalgae and the cyanobacteria Spirulina. These data include the number of producing enterprises in Europe, the location of the production facilities, the production systems used and the species being produced.

Overall, the ALGAE-industry collection aims to build a reliable database to characterise the algae sector in Europe to support informed European policies on blue growth and the bioeconomy.
