Cellana - Shell, HR Biopetroleum JV Has Demo Plant for Algal Oil in Hawaii

HR Biopetroleum has joined with Shell on a company, Cellana, that is one of about 20 worldwide looking to commercialize algae technology. Shonsey said Cellana has a leg up on the competition because it already has a patented process and research expertise from HR Biopetroleum that has been developed over nearly two decades. That work has solved contamination problems that can occur while identifying the best algae species for oil production, he said.
Cellana's pilot plant is producing oil now and that a demonstration plant is being built in Kona (Hawaii) to scale it up. Within three years it hopes to have its first commercial plant operating and within six years, another five plants.
