Ireland's First Marine Biorefinery: A New Dawn

Mara Blue initiative launches feasibility study for Irelands first marine biorefinery in Castletownbere, West Cork. The project, led by Munster Technological University, aims to transform seaweed, algae, and fish waste into valuable products like biofuels, food ingredients, pharmaceuticals, and fertilizers. The biorefinery, a not-for-profit operation, will focus on functional foods, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, animal feed, and biomedical items. The study will evaluate technical, commercial, and community aspects, positioning the southwest as a leader in marine biotech and boosting bioproduct exports from the region.
