However, the modern development of seaweed cultivation began to gain momentum in the 1980s, when its potential for the production of biofuels and other value-added products was recognized. <\/p><p>Over time, several research and collaboration initiatives have emerged between universities and the private sector. This has made it possible to improve cultivation and processing techniques, as well as to identify varieties of algae with specific commercial applications. The Canary Islands have thus positioned themselves as a benchmark in Europe in research on marine resources.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a15c016 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a15c016\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c280827 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c280827\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1dbec0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1dbec0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"499\" height=\"374\" data-src=\"https:\/\/welikecanarias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ulva-rigida.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-42727 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/welikecanarias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ulva-rigida.jpg 499w, https:\/\/welikecanarias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ulva-rigida-300x225.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 499px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 499\/374;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9248029 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9248029\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f3ab62 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9f3ab62\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Impact on the local economy<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd3ab18 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"cd3ab18\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5798ac0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5798ac0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The development of the algae farming sector has begun to have a significant impact on the local economy.

As they are cultivated in saline waters, they do not compete with traditional agricultural crops for water and land resources, thus offering an environmentally responsible solution.  <\/p><p>The integration of algae farming into a circular economy optimizes the use of resources, minimizing waste and promoting reuse.

This facilitates their transportation and storage. <\/li><li><strong>Oil extraction:<\/strong> This is a crucial step where physical or chemical methods are used to extract the lipids present in the biomass. Among the most common methods are solvent extraction and cold pressing. <\/li><li><strong>Transesterification:<\/strong> The extracted lipids are converted into biodiesel by a chemical process involving the reaction of the oils with an alcohol, usually methanol, in the presence of a catalyst.<\/li><li><strong>Refining:<\/strong> The biodiesel obtained may require an additional refining process to remove impurities and ensure it meets quality standards.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e348e3e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e348e3e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b613038 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b613038\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"732\" height=\"549\" data-src=\"https:\/\/welikecanarias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/combustibles-fosiles.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-42752 lazyload\" alt=\"Combustibles f\u00f3siles\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/welikecanarias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/combustibles-fosiles.jpg 732w, https:\/\/welikecanarias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/combustibles-fosiles-300x225.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 732px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 732\/549;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-809427a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"809427a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Advantages over fossil fuels<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43a02ae elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"43a02ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ab7e3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1ab7e3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The use of algae-derived biofuels has multiple advantages compared to conventional fossil fuels.
