Analysis of European structures to support microalgae wine producers

Industrial and manufacturing-scale price and cost modelling techniques will be employed to inform design, development and operational decisions, in turn determining manufacturing system capacity, throughput, modularity, economies of scale, economies of scope, etc. The ultimate goal is to establish a range of financial metrics to inform.REDWine’s business plan (Task 1.1), with important and relevant econometric guidance, will influence the initial target market sector. The financial models created will encompass a) the development of cost-efficient cultivation systems for wine producers, b) integration of wine production liquid effluent for Chlorella growth and wastewater recycling, c) supply of exhaust CO2 as inorganic carbon source for Chlorella growth and CO2 bioremediation, d) efficient energy use, e) industrial control, sensors and automation and f) valorisation of Chlorella biomass as feedstock to obtain ingredients for food, cosmetic and plant biostimulant as a way to diversify wine producers’ business models and to generate higher revenues.
