• Algae produce 100 times more oil per acre than traditional food oilseed crops such as soy etc. Algae produces 4,000 -15,000 gallons of oil per acre per year versus 50 gallons per acre for soy, or approximately 26 gallons per hectare

• Algae eat CO2, the major Global Warming Gas, and produce oxygen.

• Algae require only sunshine and water, and thrive on waste and polluted waters

• Algae do not compete with food crops for either agricultural land or fresh water.

Simply put, algae out-compete virtually all other methods and resources for producing

biofuel and essential nutrients.

According to the University of Washington, algae require the least amount

of crop land to meet fuel needs.

• Algae technology is perhaps the most important technology of our time. It will provide an abundant, fertile and self-developing source of protein, essential nutrients, medicine, fuel, fish feed and fertilizer, offering even the potential of a world without hunger.

• As a voracious “clean machine” for environmental remediation and carbon fixation, algae offers the key for capturing our CO2 overload, producing O2 and ensuring a viable environment for future generations.

Global PotentialGlobal Potential

Despite climate change and natural resource exhaustion, we are led by the sheer force of algae science to the conclusion that algae has the capacity to solve virtually all of the pressing resource and environmental issues of our time, from “peak oil” to water supply to C02 sequestration. The potential for positive change, and profit, is limitless.

Algae Technology changes the playing field for our future.
