The objective of the ECLIPSE Project, part of the Seventh EC Framework Programme and with allocated funding of EUR 5.3 million, is the development of new materials from residues and, more specifically, the obtaining of an ecological tetrabrik type container from microalgal residue.

The task of AlgaEnergy is the selection of those microalgae whose biochemical composition makes them suitable in order to obtain lactic acid, as well as the development of an exploitation strategy for the algal residue derived from the separation process of lipids to produce biofuels.

ECLIPSE project is led by IK4 CIDETEC and involves the participation of several multinationals (BIOPAC, FUTERRO, BANACOL, ANTARTIC and GALACTIC) and leading European and Latin American research centers, including Spanish, Belgian, Swedish, German, Colombian and Chilean universities.
