Algae captures CO2 to generate energy-rich fat, which can be refined into biofuels. The process is simple and potentially impactful. The challenge is engineering the technology able to refine algae biofuel at an...
Turning algae into a ubiquitous, affordable and low-emission transportation fuel remains an ambitious goal for now. However, Viridos, the La Jolla, California, synthetic biology startup, and ExxonMobil continue to...
Viridos and ExxonMobil have worked together to turn algae into a low-emission transportation fuel for a number of years. It’s an ambitious project that’s inspired scientists and engineers in labs coast to coast...
Diesel fuel refined from algae oils could transform how we power everything from automobiles to jet planes. The stuff is not only energy-rich—it also emits significantly fewer greenhouse gases...
Scaling production to have the technical ability to produce 10,000 barrels of algae biofuel a day is an ambitious target. But that’s what Viridos and ExxonMobil are working towards by 2025.
Biofuels made from algae are taking a place as a future fuel for heavy transport, shipping and aviation and are removing the classic biofuel dilemma of having to choose between farming for fuel or food.
Viridos and ExxonMobil have worked together for a decade now, driven by a single goal: Create a pathway to refine algae oils into low-emission diesel that can power trucks, boats, even planes.
