International Energy Developing New Technologies for the Production of Biofuels from Algae

Nov 2007

International Energy, Inc., today announced that it has entered into a collaborative research agreement for the development of new technologies for the production of biofuels derived directly from the photosynthesis of green microalgae, which can accumulate up to 30% of their biomass in the form of valuable biofuels.

International Energy’s technology seeks to convert water and carbon dioxide into useful long chain hydrocarbons from the photosynthesis of unicellular microalgae, which offer advantages in the production, storage, and utilization of renewable biofuels, as they can be harvested easily, stored in liquid form and do not require special containment systems.

Nature gave us oil from algae; perhaps we should try Nature’s way again
