Our Technology
Transforming Seaweed into High-value Products
GOA Ventures’ processing technology revolutionizes the utilization of fresh seaweed.
Unlike conventional methods that rely on energy-intensive steps and harmful chemicals, our approach prioritizes gentle processing techniques, preserving the seaweed’s natural functional components.
As a result, we create a diverse range of valuable products:
Functional Food Proteins
Our technology extracts intact proteins from seaweed, offering attractive functionalities for food products—such as foaming or emulsification. These seaweed proteins boast an exceptional nutritional profile, encompassing all essential amino acids.
Cosmetics-Grade Biopolymers
Seaweed carbohydrates serve as an ideal energy source for microorganisms. Through our innovative fermentation technology, we transform these carbohydrates into high-quality ingredients for cosmetics formulations.
Biogas
Committed to sustainability, we convert all remaining seaweed biomass into biomethane—a zero-waste, energy-neutral process. This biogas not only powers our facilities but also contributes to reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Join us at GOA Ventures as we redefine
the future of seaweed-based innovations!
Our customizable process
Our research facility in the Netherlands is a hub of innovation. We continually refine our processing methods and enhance our outputs.
Notably, our technology has demonstrated success across green, brown and red seaweeds. Now, let’s explore how your local seaweed can seamlessly integrate into our process:
Small-scale pilot process
With just a few kilograms of your fresh seaweed, we establish a baseline for product quantity and quality. Our pilot tests generate valuable insights on the seaweed of interest, allowing us to refine our methods.
Pilot facility
Our on-site pilot facility tracks the processing of local seaweed throughout a full season of growth. We gather data, adapt, and optimize along the way – thereby ensuring maximized process efficiency and product quality.
Commercial plant
Building upon pilot data, we design a turnkey commercial facility tailored to your seaweed’s characteristics. Additionally, we provide ongoing technical support and sales assistance, ensuring a seamless partnership.
Curious to see if our technology is a match for you? Reach out to us, and we’ll arrange a pilot test tailored to your seaweed variety.
Let’s explore the possibilities together!
