About – Xanthella Algae Photobioreactors

Who we are

Xanthella designs and manufactures photobioreactors to grow photosynthetic products on both lab and industrial scale. We involve ourselves in projects globally, although our most developed projects are local – such as the first-of-their-kind ENBIO and ASLEE projects, conceived from a partnership between Xanthella and the Oban-based charity ALIenergy aiming to enhance the local rural circular economy via use of renewable energy for growing high-value microalgae in Scotland.

Xanthella works alongside several research laboratories in Scotland to bring new technologies and processes into photobioreactor design. We are based at the European Marine Science Park alongside the Scottish Association for Marine Science, home to the world-famous Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa (CCAP).
