01
Feedstock
Collected sargassum enters the value chain as biomass for processing.
From sargassum to high-value ingredients
Local biorefining.Industrial ingredients.
Thalasso's modular Micro-Biorefinery is designed to process sargassum close to where it is collected, separating the biomass into valuable fractions for industrial markets.
— Currently under construction
Why local processing
The biomass becomes feedstock — not waste to be moved elsewhere
Wet sargassum is difficult and costly to transport over long distances. Thalasso's modular approach is designed to place processing close to collection, turning a recurring coastal burden into feedstock for local value creation.
How the platform works
The Micro-Biorefinery is where value is created
The platform connects collected biomass with extraction and product development through a practical, local processing chain.
02
Local biorefining
A modular processing platform is deployed close to where the biomass is collected.
03
Separation & extraction
The process is designed to separate the biomass into distinct valuable fractions.
04
Commercial pathways
Thalasso develops buyer and offtake relationships around the intended product outputs.
What we intend to produce
Principal product lines
Fucoidan, alginate and biostimulants are the main products the Micro-Biorefinery is designed to produce and commercialize. They are intended outputs of the processing platform, not separate business divisions.
01
Fucoidan
An intended principal product line extracted from processed sargassum biomass.
02
Alginate
An intended principal product line connecting local sargassum processing with industrial demand.
03
Biostimulants
An intended principal product line designed to create commercial value from the processed biomass.
From biomass to industrial markets
A processing platform built around its outputs
Thalasso is not simply developing biorefinery equipment. The Micro-Biorefinery enables the company to transform sargassum into valuable ingredients and build commercial buyer and offtake relationships around those outputs. Commercial-scale production and sales have not yet begun.
R&D and future potential
Exploring more value within the biomass
Beyond its three intended principal product lines, Thalasso has conducted research into additional sargassum-derived fractions, including fucoxanthin, cellulose and proteins. These represent research and future potential, not current commercial product lines.

Modular deployment
Processing capacity close to the source
The containerized platform is being developed for phased deployment near affected coastlines, connecting local feedstock with a wider industrial value chain.
01
Close to collection
Designed to process sargassum near the point where biomass enters the value chain.
02
Modular by design
Containerized units support phased deployment as local operating requirements develop.
03
Integrated value chain
Collection, processing, extraction and commercialization are planned as one connected system.
