About BENIGN
The BENIGN project focuses on developing and optimizing value chains for seaweed-based bioenergy capable of producing biogas, bio-oil, and bioethanol — thereby advancing the transition to fossil-free energy.
It is a Nordic research and innovation project that brings together partners from five Nordic countries with the aim of promoting the sustainable use of seaweed resources in the region. The project explores innovative, efficient, and circular value chains based on seaweed, addressing the environmental, technological, and societal dimensions of a growing bioeconomy.
