Company Summary

Algaeverde’s “turbocharged” systems enable rapid growth of natural algae species to produce multiple essential biochemicals and fuels. Using regulated wastes as raw materials minimizes costs and maximizes profit potential. Algae also cleans both air and water profitably. Unlike other, higher-cost, approaches, our protected methods earn high margins and capture lost resources. Our high-demand products and systems feed global sustainable markets.
