The Clear Focus of AlgaeVS’s AlgaeVenture Systems
AlgaeVS’s Algae Initiative Strategy
AlgaeVS has undertaken the development of the systems and technology related to hybrid-closed ponds that continuously simulates nature’s best productivity for growing algae based biomass in virtually any geographic location with the suitable resources. These systems are being designed at scale, with modularity that improves economics, while leveraging facility collocation as part of a sustainable waste to energy strategy. Solar energy is one contributing energy source, not the sole source. Our technologies are unique and various patents are being pursued.
This philosophy utilizes waste energies from collocated facilities including heat, with an additional requirement for suitable water-cooling resources (geothermal, river, or body of water), CO2 waste gas, and nutrient/organic wastes. The targeted industries are power generation, wastewater, livestock, food waste, biomass waste, landfill, and various industrial concerns. The resulting systems will provide resource conservation, improved water and air quality while producing large quantities of biomass for utilization for fuel, feed, food, fertilizer, and other advanced materials or products. This integrated strategy will result in a leap forward for sustainability strategies, which can be implemented by a variety of concerns.
AlgaeVS firmly believes the primary path forward for fuels from algae will require capital cost sharing with collocated facilities along with an evolutionary path to the profit floor of fuel. Justification of capital cost share comes from cleaner water and air through a variety of considerations, including: ecological, social, energy policies, and national security justifications.
It is our near term goal to establish 12-20 of these collocated facilities utilizing the expertise from various disciplines to simultaneously research, develop, engineer, the systems and processes at scale. The path forward is based on best practices relating to our specific and historical technologies along with vision of the viable ideal system of the future. Our long-term objective is to be a world leader in integrated algae technologies providing technology, designs, engineering, and systems that integrate primary algae systems and unique complementing subsystems.
