Royal DSM and Evonik, as part of their 50-50 joint venture, have opened a commercial-scale US$200 million facility in Nebraska, USA, to make omega-3 fatty acids from natural marine algae for sustainable salmon farming.
I am pleased that together with Evonik we have reached a key milestone in turning the tide: through Veramaris, we are able to reduce the aquaculture industry’s reliance on the world’s finite fish oil resources for these vital omega-3 fatty acids,’ said Feike Sijbesma, CEO and chairman of DSM. ‘This fits perfectly with our purpose-led performance driven strategy, focused on addressing the world’s biggest challenges while simultaneously creating economic, environmental and societal value for all our stakeholders.'
