The Salinalgue microalgae culture experimentation basins in Gruissan, France were inaugurated earlier this month by all of the partners in the project, including Air Liquide.
The Salinalgue experimentation basins, commissioned in October 2011, are intended to produce microalgae to recover bioenergy (biodiesel and biomethane) and other bioproducts (dyes, aquaculture feeds).
