Finnish green chemicals company Origin by Ocean and the CABB Group, a leading contract development and manufacturing organization specializing in fine chemicals, have entered into a strategic partnership to establish a first-of-a-kind algae biorefinery at CABB's production site in Kokkola, Finland. The facility will use Origin by Ocean’s patented biorefinery technology and is set to begin operating in 2028, processing sargassum, an invasive brown seaweed, into high-value ingredients, such as alginate, fucoidan, and biomass residue. Origin by Ocean will construct the biorefinery and CABB will operate it under a Manufacturing as Service arrangement.
