Algae’s Resourcification

Sammanfattning: Algae’s interest in the past decade has grown rapidly, with several actors showing this interest within their plans. Drawing on critical resource geography insights on the social production of resources and a conceptual framework built on top of it, this thesis has as its aim the comprehension of to what extent algae’s transformation into a resource is occurring within Europe and Denmark. This result is accomplished by operationalizing the conceptual framework into categories called conditions. These condiNons, when they occur at the same Nme, favor the occurrence of resourcificaNon, the phenomenon that in this work I will study regarding algae. Ultimately, the condition will serve to analyze the selected literature, both academic and non, and respond to the research questions ultimately. This work contributes to the studies around resources and their production, testing a new theoretical and methodological script to approach the process.
