Technology. - The PetroAlgae Solution

PetroAlgae's technology and processes address the growing unmet needs in the global energy and agriculture markets. PetroAlgae has been a leader in developing photosynthetic harvested micro-crops and believes that its micro-crop solution will result in the commercial scale, economically viable production of “drop-in” fuel products to replace fossil fuels and high quality digestible protein products for animal and eventually human use. PetroAlgae's micro-crop cultivation processes have demonstrated economically sustainable growth levels due to its proprietary technology that maximizes biomass growth productivity through the management of light exposure and the optimization of harvesting schedules.

Unlike other renewable fuel feedstocks, such as corn and soybeans, that compete with existing food supplies, PetroAlgae's renewable micro-crops can be grown on non-arable land, use approximately half as much energy in production as traditional crude oil feedstock and actually supplement global food supplies by producing protein.
