Why we passionately design Algae systems

Our Vision

Where we are headed

To use and develop our platform technology an become the standard for autotrophic cultivation of microalgae to speed up the potential of microalgae.

Our Mission

What we do

We build vertical demand and supply columns centralized around autotrophic algae cultivated in Lgem PBR systems, with Lgem optimized protocols and extra service.

These columns contribute to a fast implementation of algae for a sustainable and self-sufficient world with high impact food, feed,pharma and biochemical algae driven solutions.

Lgem Synalgae

Started in the Netherlands, operational worldwide.

Algae are the future

We believe that algae are the answer to some of the greatest global challenges. They are becoming a dominant source of sustainable solutions, while applications are virtually endless. However, lack of industrial scalability creates a critical barrier to their immense potential. Questions about cost, quality, skilled labour, and productivity pose significant threats for further investments. Scalable systems and genuine de-risking services have been the missing link in our industry. Lgem’s PBRs and our unique AlgaeHUB® facility arrive at the perfect moment to turn the tide. Our approach proves that algae production can be done successfully and sustainably on an industrial scale.

At Lgem, our ambitious team offers expertise in:

  • Planning
  • Engineering
  • Process engineering
  • Process optimisation
  • Realisation 
  • R&D
All aspects are needed for completing successful algae projects. We are here for CEO’s, producers, entrepreneurs and researchers who believe in the power of algae – just like we do.

Lgem AlgaeHUB®

a unique facility in the world of microalgae

We present our reliable and easy-to-use systems to produce microalgae at our cutting-edge AlgaeHUB®. In our completely unique 7000 m² facility near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, we offer our latest technologies. All of our proprietary systems are available for testing purposes. We offer various technologies for upstream and downstream process development.

The services offered at our AlgaeHUB® allow you to evaluate the full range of our production units. De-risking allows you to validate your business case on a commercially relevant scale. R&D services offer ground-breaking possibilities, solutions and improvements to your envisioned process.

Our unique facility acts as an inspirational think-tank to enable and stimulate innovation. Our test facilities are open to partners, universities and research institutions, granting them access to our AlgaeHUB®.
