Bodega Algae Develops Light Sources to Enhance Algae Growth
You are at: Oilgae Blog.
Smaller Bodega Algae, a six-person company focused on developing new light sources to enhance the growth of algae in bioreactors, is also pushing ahead. According to CEO Joe Dahmen, the company has four prototypes of its system in the field — two at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California and two at a research center at the University of Washington — and is in the process of building a next-generation product, expected to be smaller and more efficient.
Dahmen said that the waning interest in biofuels as a replacement for oil and gas is temporary, and the situation is encouraging researchers in the algae sector to look at other areas for more general algae applications.
“There are other applications, such as bioplastics, bioceuticals and industrial applications, that are being looked at as near-term markets,” he said.
