Aurora Algae expands to Australia
The expansion will see Aurora Algae open a new regional headquarters in Perth, Australia. Matthew Caspari, the managing director and co-founder of Aurora Algae, will lead the new office and oversee the construction and operation of what will be the company’s first commercial-scale facility in the northwest region of the country.
‘As we searched for the ideal location of our first commercial production facility, we identified a number of key factors that were critical for delivering maximum value from our high-tech farming process,’ Caspari said. 'The combination of a perfect climate and the right blend of resources – including abundant seawater, industrial CO2 and skilled labour – made northwestern Australia an ideal location for our initial, high-yield commercial facility.'
