ForFarmers, Remediiate partner to drive feed sustainability with microalgae innovation  

UK – ForFarmers, a leading Dutch feed producer, and Wales-based Remediiate have announced a strategic partnership to tackle industrial CO2 emissions and advance feed circularity. 

This collaboration, formalised through a letter of intent in the UK, highlights their shared commitment to sustainable solutions that benefit both the environment and the feed industry.  

At the heart of this partnership lies Remediiate’s innovative carbon capture technology. The company’s modular, plug-and-play bioreactor system captures CO2 directly from industrial flue stacks and uses it to accelerate microalgae cultivation. 

The captured carbon is transformed into a valuable raw material, opening new possibilities for sustainable feed production.  

ForFarmers, a key knowledge partner in the project, will explore ways to integrate microalgae into animal feed. 

With its expertise, ForFarmers aims to ensure that microalgae becomes a practical and sustainable ingredient for the feed sector.  

Remediiate’s bioreactor technology is versatile, offering deployment at various manufacturing sites, including power plants, cement factories, and food production facilities. 

By utilising CO2 directly at its source, the system provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional carbon capture and storage solutions. 

This innovation also positions microalgae as a scalable resource, making it a viable ingredient for multiple industries.  

“We are capturing CO2 emissions from nickel production to culture microalgae, and in partnership with ForFarmers, we are exploring its application in animal feed,” said a spokesperson from Remediiate. 

The alliance is redefining industrial collaboration for sustainability, aiming to achieve circularity in farming and beyond.  

Broader trends in carbon capture utilisation  

The ForFarmers-Remediiate partnership aligns with a broader trend of Power-to-X projects, in which renewable energy transforms industrial CO2 into valuable products. 

Companies like Aerbio are at the forefront of this movement, turning CO2 and hydrogen into protein-rich ingredients.  

Aerbio’s Proton feed protein, developed for aquaculture and poultry production, exemplifies the shift toward circular chemistry. 

Located at the Brightlands Chemelot Campus in the Netherlands, Aerbio’s pilot facility is already operational, and plans for a larger demonstration site are underway.  

As industries increasingly adopt circular approaches, partnerships like ForFarmers and Remediiate’s signal a future where feed production can support sustainability goals while meeting the growing demand for innovative raw materials.
