The All-gas project is co-funded by the European Commission as part of the 7th Framework Program, the “ENER- GY.2010.3.4-1: biofuels from algae” project and was born with the objective of being an industrial-scale demonstra- tion of the sustainable low-cost microal- gae culture for biofuel. It is a successsul case of collaboration among the European companies and institutions involved – Euroepan, regio- nal and local – in this circular economy excellence project. It has also implied, for Aqualia, the com- pany that led the European consortium that is executing the project, the promo- tion of cutting-edge technoloty and the accumulation of valuable know-how, in addition to developing numerous pa- tents, which has positioned this project in very high innovation standards. Success story The All-Gas project, supported by the European Union, has started its demonstration phase, successfu- lly exceeding all the objectives and stages set from the start, producing quality biogas that is being tested in various vehicles to check their func- tioning. The results of all of the project’s phases have shown that All-gas is a clear example of circular economy since waste (the dirty water) is con- verted sustainably into raw materials with added value, thus providing an innovative and environment-friendly process. The biomethane vehicle of the All-gas project attracts the at- tention of visitors during the inauguration of the new phase of the project.
