About Project INDEPENDENT

Integrated Biorefinery Concept for Bioeconomy Driven Development (INDEPENDENT)

Project INDEPENDENT is carried out as part of the Competitive Sectors Programme co-funded by the European Union and the Republic of Turkey, and implemented by the Ministry of Industry and Technology.

With Project INDEPENDENT, it’s aimed to obtain products and technologies for energy and health sectors, which are the main current account deficit items of Turkey, with an integrated production system based on a bioeconomy-oriented growth model, from entirely algae-based natural resources without being dependent on fossil resources.
