MiAlgae repurposes whisky industry by-products to grow microalgae as a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to fish-derived omega-3s. The site is ideally located near distilleries and MiAlgae’s customers in the Central Belt of Scotland, which will help it scale its sustainable production model. The new facility will enable the company to address the increasing demands from aquaculture and pet food markets, which are seeking sustainable and ethical sources of marine omega-3s. MiAlgae is also exploring new markets including meat alternatives, nutraceuticals and livestock feed – sectors with significant global demand. Douglas Martin, Founder and CEO of MiAlgae said: "Grangemouth has incredible potential for us as we look to the next stage of our growth. This location offers an ideal position to support our scaling efforts and meet the increasing demand for our ‘biotech for good’ solutions, with the creation of green jobs across engineering, production, and research and development. We are confident that this new facility will help build a greener future and bring high-quality, sustainable jobs to the local community."
