SLH has a broad experience in (bioactive) components,
ingredients, treshhold values and Danish and EU regulations of
seaweeds. Research focus is on algal biomass production for food,
feed and ingredients with specific expertise in algal cultivation
and breeding, components of algae and algal biomass utilization.
Algal biomass is used as biofilter and applied as food or in a
biorefinery concept with the extraction of high added-value
products (and the residuals utilized for bioenergy and fertilizer
purposes). SLH is at present involved in e.g. the Danish GUDP
project:
Valorization of red seaweed biomasses towards future sustainability
(VALSEA), Multiextraction of Bioactive Compounds from
Macroalgae. SLH is the Secretary General of The International
Seaweed Association Council, and chairman of the Seaweed Network in
Denmark (www.tangnet.dk) initiated in 2008, with more than 320
members from industry, universities, organizations, national
authorities, chefs, fish farmers, groups and persons that work with
or have interest in seaweed. The Seaweed Network in Denmark meets
twice a year with cross disciplinary oral presentations and
discussion forums, seaweed excursions of several days duration and
a newsletter. SLH headed and chaired respectively the members
in the National Organizing Committee of the 22nd International
Seaweed Symposium, Copenhagen 2016 (www.iss-2016.org).
