The objective of the DISCOVR consortia is to develop an integrated algae strain screening platform for the discovery of high-productivity and resilient strains of algae that can be cultivated outdoors year-round via crop rotation. The data includes annual weather data, algae cultivation composition data, and pond water chemistry data between 2018 and 2021. This year-over-year cultivation data provides the underlying data in direct support of the annual State of Technology (SOT) analysis effort. These field experimental data and SOT reports are of interest to the U.S. Department of Energys (DOE) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energys (EERE) Bioenergy Technologies office (BETO) in understanding current best algae agronomic practices in demonstrating progress towards future algae biomass productivity goals as outlined in the BETO Multi-Year Program Plan.
