Producing EPA powered by Dutch greenhouse expertise.

Our algae production facility builds on proven greenhouse infrastructure and over a decade of microalgae R&D. Operating within an existing, controlled cultivation environment, we deliver consistent and high-quality EPA-rich algae efficiently and reliably.

Growing facility.

Algae Growth Netherlands operates an algae production facility within an existing greenhouse in one of the world’s most advanced horticultural regions. By leveraging established greenhouse infrastructure, operations can commence efficiently with limited construction risk.

Algae cultivation takes place in a dedicated section of the greenhouse equipped with closed photobioreactor systems (PBRs), supported by integrated laboratory and technical facilities. The setup allows for a gradual increase in production activities within the same greenhouse environment, while maintaining full operational control and flexibility.

Production process.

Microalgae are cultivated in a closed, fully controlled greenhouse environment where light, nutrients, CO₂ and water are precisely regulated to optimize growth and productivity. Key parameters are continuously monitored to ensure reproducibility and full traceability. Through continuous photosynthesis, CO₂ is converted into oxygen and valuable biomass. Efficient resource management and high water reuse support sustainable, year-round production of EPA-rich algae.

Building on established greenhouse infrastructure enables efficient start-up and reduced time to production.

Closed photobioreactors with continuous monitoring deliver stable growth conditions and consistent product quality.

Located near major airports and the Port of Rotterdam, with direct access to key European markets and export routes to North America.

Located within a leading horticultural region with direct access to key technology partners and research institutions, including Wageningen University & Research (WUR).

Pure Dutch innovation.

At Certhon, we’re excited to partner with Algae Capital to develop innovative algae production facilities that can be constructed anywhere in the world. Our mission, “Growing anything, anywhere. For everyone,” aligns perfectly with the visionary approach of Algae Capital.

Key figures.
20,000 m² production area
The production facility provides space for 20,000 square meters of cultivation area. This area is scalable up to 120,000 square meters.
800,000 kg biomass
In the production facility, we can produce 800,000 kilograms of biomass annually on 20,000 square meters.
300x more efficient
Protein production is 300x more space efficient than growing soy.
3,000,000 kg CO₂
3 million kg of CO₂ per year is converted into pure oxygen; a capacity equal to over 250 hectares of forest.
90% recycling
The salty water with residual nutrients is recycled. 90% of the water is reused.
