Algae is recognized as a superfood that can be grown cheaply with just sunshine, carbon dioxide and water. However, cultivation at scale is difficult, meaning its potential has yet to be realized. Scientists working at KAUST’s new Saudi Center for Algal Biotechnology Development and Aquaculture, have developed their own Spirulina and Chlorella strains of algae which is uniquely adapted to seawater. Scientists state that the innovation dispenses with the need for freshwater and make the production of livestock feed cultivated from algae sustainable and economically viable. Saudi Arabia currently imports most of the raw materials it needs for livestock feed – protein, lipids, and carbohydrates – from countries like Brazil and USA.
