Corbion and Kuehnle AgroSystems join forces to develop natural Astaxanthin from algae fermentation

Corbion, the Amsterdam-based global leader in sustainable ingredients, and US-based biotech company Kuehnle AgroSystems (KAS) have entered into a strategic partnership to develop and commercialize a high-quality, natural astaxanthin derived from non-GMO heterotrophic algae. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant and red-orange carotenoid pigment found in various aquatic organisms, including microalgae, salmon, and shrimp. It is widely recognized both for its human health benefits and as a key feed ingredient for salmon and other aquaculture most commercially available astaxanthin is either chemically synthesized for aquaculture use or derived from the phototrophic microalgae Haematococcus for human health applications. Corbion and KAS aim to provide a natural, algae-derived alternative produced through controlled fermentation of non-GMO, heterotrophic Haematococcus, the primary natural source of astaxanthin. The partnership will focus on developing an esterified form of astaxanthin, rich in the most bioavailable isomer, delivering superior antioxidant performance, enhanced stability, and fat solubility. Designed for both the human and animal nutrition markets, the product is particularly well-suited for nutraceuticals and aquaculture applications. By combining KAS's advanced fermentation platform and proprietary non-GMO algae strains with Corbion's industrial production capabilities, regulatory and go-to-market expertise, the two companies aim to bring this innovation to market at scale. 'This partnership reinforces our commitment to sustainable, science-based solutions,' said Robert Jan de Voogd, General Manager, Algae Ingredients North America at Corbion. 'KAS' technology offers a strong foundation to deliver high-quality natural astaxanthin to customers looking for a clean-label alternative.' 'We're proud to collaborate with Corbion to scale our technology and make premium algae-derived antioxidants more accessible worldwide' said Claude Kaplan, CEO of KAS. Development and technical transfer have already begun, with further updates to follow as the project progresses.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Market Outlook 2025-2030 Featuring Strategic Analysis of Shell, Aker Solutions, Equinor, Dakota Gasification Company, Linde & Other Industry Leaders

Growth is fueled by EU policies and CCS adoption for emission reduction. Key drivers include enhanced oil recovery applications, while high costs may impede global uptake. Carbon Capture and Storage Market Dublin, Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Carbon Capture and Storage Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Technology (Post-combustion, Industrial Process, Pre-combustion), Application (Power Generation, Oil & Gas, Metal Production), and Region with Growth Forecasts, 2025-2030" has been added to offering. The Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Market, valued at USD 3.68 billion in 2024, is set to soar to USD 5.61 billion by 2030, achieving an impressive CAGR of 7.40%. This upward trajectory is supported by favorable governmental policies and funding within the European Union (EU), which are pivotal in driving the market's growth. With escalating concerns over carbon emissions' environmental impact, CCS technology is rapidly gaining traction. Governments globally are advocating for its deployment through various industrial pilot projects. The technology's potential as a large-scale solution to meet ambitious CO2 emission reduction targets and climate control goals is a key factor behind its adoption. The European Union has positioned itself as a pioneer in CCS technology integration within its energy and climate strategy, targeting an 80%-95% emission reduction by 2050. The region's market expansion is mainly driven by policies and funding aimed at developing cost-effective, efficient CCS technologies. Increased utilization of carbon dioxide in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) applications propels global CCS demand. However, the high technology costs pose challenges, potentially hindering broader adoption by industries and nations worldwide. Industry players are leveraging strategies like partnerships, new product launches, expansions, mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, and partnership agreements to enhance their market presence and customer base. For instance, Technip Energies N.V. launched CaptureNow in June 2023, unifying carbon capture, storage, and utilization technologies under one platform. Carbon Capture and Storage Market Report Highlights: Technology Aspect: The pre-combustion segment led the market, capturing over 70% revenue share in 2024 due to its broad application in producing clean energy like e-fuels and blue hydrogen. Application Segment: Power generation dominated with a market share exceeding 69% in 2024, driven by regulatory mandates on power plants necessitating CCS facility implementation for carbon emission compliance. Regional Growth: Europe's market is anticipated to expand at the highest CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period, bolstered by supportive governmental policies. For instance, the European Union's Net Zero Industry Act, launched in March 2023, sets a CO2 injection target of 50 Mt for 2030, incentivizing CCS technology adoption.

Investors in LSL Property Services (LON:LSL) have seen respectable returns of 51% over the past five years

Explore LSL Property Services's Fair Values from the Community and select yours It might be of some concern to shareholders to see the LSL Property Services plc (LON:LSL) share price down 11% in the last month. But the silver lining is the stock is up over five years. In that time, it is up 30%, which isn't bad, but is below the market return of 166%. Unfortunately not all shareholders will have held it for the long term, so spare a thought for those caught in the 23% decline over the last twelve months. Let's take a look at the underlying fundamentals over the longer term, and see if they've been consistent with shareholders returns. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. During five years of share price growth, LSL Property Services achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 6.4% per year. So the EPS growth rate is rather close to the annualized share price gain of 5% per year. That suggests that the market sentiment around the company hasn't changed much over that time. In fact, the share price seems to largely reflect the EPS growth. You can see how EPS has changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values). We consider it positive that insiders have made significant purchases in the last year. Even so, future earnings will be far more important to whether current shareholders make money. This free interactive report on LSL Property Services' earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further. What About Dividends? When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. We note that for LSL Property Services the TSR over the last 5 years was 51%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. This is largely a result of its dividend payments! A Different Perspective While the broader market gained around 22% in the last year, LSL Property Services shareholders lost 20% (even including dividends). However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 9% per year over half a decade. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand LSL Property Services better, we need to consider many other factors.
