SELLING TO SKIN CARE + PARTNERSHIPS IN SOLAR

Skin care and cosmetics Solar energy Future applications

Natural and efficient:• Moisturizer• Absorbent• UV filter

Sales started in autumn 2018. Customers:

Enhances efficiency with at least: • 4 % for silicon based solar panels • 38 % for DSSC (Dye sensitized solar

cells)

Long-term opportunities in e.g. • Lithium ion batteries, 40 %

increased capacity of anode• Biosensors

• UV filter in e.g. plastic films3 testing partnerships, each needing 200 kg -10 tons/year. In discussions with 6 more actors.

Commercialization and collaboration with:

Paper published in

Research with among others:

+ 20 with ongoing tests + more in pipe

We clean water from this salmon farm. Our algae can grow in water from many other sources too.

Our algae grows in trays

Patent pending on cultivation process,efficiency enhancement of solar panels and UV absorption
