The study presents and analyses the results of a comprehensive mapping and detailed characterization of the algae production at the European scale, encompassing macroalgae, microalgae, and the cyanobacteria Spirulina. It also mapped 447 algae and Spirulina production units spread between 23 countries, which represents an important addition to the reported number of algae producing countries.
