At Moskogen, a landfill in Kalmar, Sweden, nutrient-rich leachate water runs into a reservoir. We examine the potential of micro algae to clean nitrogen from the water. Algal production is supported by the CO2 produced by the Kalmar Energi power plant, also located in Moskogen.
\nPhosphorus is a biproduct of the renewable energy production (wood chips) and is used in the production of algal biomass, which can ultimately be turned into valuable bioproducts.<\/p>\n

At Moskogen, nitrogen and phosphorous-rich wastewater from KSRR\u2019s landfill combines with carbon dioxide from the Kalmar Energi power plant, giving our microalgae a rich diet for growth. When we are ready to harvest the algae, the wastewater has been cleaned. Photo \u2013 Maurice Hirwa<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Location: Mussel Farms, Hagby<\/strong>
\nMussels grow in coastal areas and can act as a nutrient sink in the Baltic Sea with no added resources. Mussels filter seawater to obtain their natural food of choice: microalgae. Once the mussels have had their fill of microalgae, they are \u201charvested,\u201d or collected from the sea, thus cleaning the water of excess nutrients. The biomass of algae-fed mussels can then be turned into useful resources, like animal feed.<\/p>\n

Team Algoland works diligently to harvest the mussels that will be ground and used as chicken fodder.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
