Solazyme’s researchers are genetically modifying algae to consume common feedstocks, like switchgrass, sawdust, or even glycerol waste from chemical plants; then fermenting it to get it to grow as fast as possible. If the algae consume more feedstock than they can use, they produce oil as a way to store the excess energy. It’s that crude oil that can be refined into biodiesel.

Thousands of gallons of algae oil are stored in 42-gallon drums then the crude oil is refined into “Soladiesel” for vehicles, jet fuel, food products, and high-end cosmetics.
Another product is Solazyme’s “healthy beauty serum” – a clear, odorless, pleasantly viscous substance that soaks into my skin immediately, supposedly imparting the same natural sun protections microalgae develop in the wild and attacking my crows’ feet with algae-powered antioxidants.
