The European Union (EU) market, which is home to about 30% of algae activity, will be limited initially by the industry’s focus on university research, and later by insufficient access to water, land, and nutrient sources. Ultimately, algae potential is greatest in regions where there is an abundance of land, water, and sunlight.
