Project - MICROFOAM - Bio-based fire retardants using microalgal foam

Project start September 2024. Project completion August 2025.

Fire retardants are chemicals that are used to inhibit, suppress, or delay the formation of flames and prevent the spread of fire. Most of the fire retardants are made up of persistent organic pollutants and hazardous chemicals that have long term effects on environment and our health. MICROFOAM will develop natural non-toxic foaming agent for bio-based fire retardants through sustainable microalgal production.

NGS has developed an environmentally friendly fire retardant and fire stopper based on biodegradable ingredients known from food industries. They strive to improve the sustainability of their product by using natural ingredients for foaming properties.

DTI will develop sustainable microalgal cultivation together with NFH (for fishery waste nutrients) and QBR (high productive, energy efficient lights) in order to produce microalgae foam. NGS will formulate the microalgal foam into their existing product and evaluate its efficiency in foaming and containing fire.

MICROFOAM is a project funded by Food & Bio Cluster Denmark through Innovation Collaboration scheme with 4 partners (3 SMEs and 1 RTO) from Denmark.
