SEACoRe™ is being developed not around a single end product, but around the potential to recover differentiated marine-derived fractions for multiple application pathways.
As technical validation progresses, these fractions can be evaluated for their functionality, consistency and suitability within selected industrial applications.
STARTING WITH THE RESOURCE
Creating value begins with understanding the biomass itself. SEACoRe™ is being developed around the inherent variability of marine feedstocks and the need to connect biomass characteristics with processing performance and recovery potential.
From Variable Biomass to Greater Value
Creating new value pathways for marine biomass through controlled, flexible and scalable bioprocessing.
SEACoRe™ is being developed to investigate how seaweed species, composition, condition and form influence processing and fraction recovery. This creates a potential pathway for growers, harvesters, processors and biomass owners seeking to understand and potentially increase the value derived from suitable marine resources.

Characterise candidate biomass to understand relevant variability before processing.
Evaluate how suitable feedstocks interact with the SEACoRe™ process architecture and recovery pathway.
Advance promising feedstocks toward technically and commercially relevant whole-biomass utilisation opportunities.
FROM RECOVERED FRACTIONS TO FUNCTIONAL OPPORTUNITY
SEACoRe™ is designed to generate differentiated recovered streams rather than a single predetermined product. As validation progresses, suitable fractions can be characterised, screened and evaluated against specific application requirements.
Marine-Derived Inputs for Biotechnology
Exploring marine-derived fractions as potential functional inputs and intermediates for biotechnology applications.
SEACoRe™ provides a platform for recovering differentiated marine fractions and building the evidence needed to understand their composition, consistency and potential functionality. Promising fractions can subsequently progress into application-specific evaluation with biotechnology and industrial partners.

Advance promising candidates through controlled application-specific testing.
Marine Biotechnology for Environmental Applications
Exploring whether selected marine-derived fractions and process streams could contribute functionality within appropriate environmental biotechnology applications.
As evidence develops, candidate streams can be screened for properties relevant to selected environmental systems and advanced where technically justified into application-specific testing.

Identify properties potentially relevant to environmental applications.
Evaluate promising candidates within defined biological or environmental treatment contexts.
Progress suitable candidates through targeted technical validation.
BEYOND THE PRIMARY FRACTION
The opportunity extends beyond individual recovered fractions. SEACoRe™ is being developed with whole-resource utilisation, complementary value streams and integration with wider processing infrastructure in mind.
More Value From the Whole Resource
Exploring how greater value can be recovered from renewable marine biomass through integrated resource utilisation.
SEACoRe™ takes a whole-resource perspective, considering primary recovered fractions alongside residual streams, material flows and resource requirements to identify opportunities for improved utilisation and complementary value recovery.

Understand the destination and potential value of multiple material streams.
Explore complementary pathways for primary and residual fractions.
Identify opportunities for recovery, reuse and connection with wider biological and industrial systems.
Designed to Connect
Exploring how modular marine bioprocessing could integrate with wider biomass-processing and industrial systems.
SEACoRe™ is being developed as a modular platform rather than an isolated processing step. As technical maturity increases, its process stages, material streams and resource requirements can be evaluated for integration with complementary technologies and wider biorefinery infrastructure.

Configure appropriate process stages around feedstock, application and infrastructure requirements.
Connect recovered and residual streams with complementary downstream pathways.
Use pilot evidence, material/resource balances and engineering assumptions to inform larger-scale integration.
