No single company, organization or institution has all the answers when it comes to developing tomorrow’s low-emission energy. That’s why global energy company ExxonMobil is partnering with a range of...
Researching algae takes science, sunshine, some very large ponds and the right kind of algae.
Scaling algae production to have the technical ability to produce 10,000 barrels of algae biofuel a day is an...
If you had told me a few years ago that one day I’d be farming algae with the hope of creating a reliable, low-emission energy source, I probably would have been a little skeptical. But that’s exactly what I...
Viridos, Inc. (formerly Synthetic Genomics, Inc.) and ExxonMobil have worked together for a decade now, driven by a single goal: Create a pathway to refine algae oils into low-emission diesel that can power trucks,...
The science behind converting farming or plant leftovers into next-generation, lower-emission biodiesel could one day transform how heavy-duty drivers fill their tanks
To a kid, using algae for fuel may sound strange, but to ExxonMobil’s scientists, biofuel made from algae has the potential to be a major player in a low-carbon energy future.
At a research farm nestled in Southern California’s Imperial County, Viridos, Inc. (formerly Synthetic Genomics, Inc.) and ExxonMobil are cultivating acres of energy-rich algae. Their goal: Have the technical...
Don’t underestimate the potential energy in an algae pond or a pile of cornhusks.
ExxonMobil is working to create the next generation of biofuels: energy sources that are sustainable and literally green.
Since 2009, ExxonMobil and Synthetic Genomics, Inc. (SGI) have been working together to turn algae into low-emission transportation fuel. The collaboration has fostered significant breakthroughs, including most...
Each day, I get to look into the future. I’m an algae research technician at ExxonMobil, working with Synthetic Genomics, Inc. (SGI) to develop the perfect strain of fat, fit algae, which can be converted into...
