Algae Biofuel Companies

[Chance To See]

OOIL. Layered outdoor system might be interesting.

Overall, it will be interesting to see if OOIL’s vision of this industry being carried by small entrepreneurs works out. They are trying to develop and sell the apparatus rather than grow the algae themselves.

PRESENTATION

As far as I know, up to this point OOIL has been focused on an indoor bioreactor system with lights. And of course they developed their method for separating the oil from the algae without having to harvest the algae, which presumably could be used with this multi-layer outdoor system. One slide in the presentation points out that the system also has optional lights for 24-hour operation. The final slide in the presentation under “What’s Next?” says “Integration with all other OriginOil processes, for a complete production system.”
