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...
Mention algae to most people and their thoughts turn to the scum in fish tanks or ponds. But while algae may be a nuisance to some, to the scientists at ExxonMobil it’s cutting-edge stuff. Could algae potentially...
Scientists at Synthetic Genomics, Inc. (SGI) and ExxonMobil have developed a fatter strain of algae. Fatter algae mean more energy-rich lipids, which can be turned into low-emission biofuels. So when it comes to...
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, Synthetic Genomics and ExxonMobil are cultivating acres of energy-rich algae. Their goal: Have the technical ability to produce 10,000 barrels...
What are algae? They’re a lot more than pond scum and seaweed. Algae (singular: alga) are everywhere, but often we take these little and not-so-little organisms for granted. We’ve cultivated ten of our favorite...
ExxonMobil and Synthetic Genomics, Inc. (SGI) are working toward the technical ability to produce 10,000 barrels of algae biofuels a day by 2025. While this research target is still years away, and it will take...
Synthetic Genomics, Inc. and ExxonMobil have worked together to turn algae into a low-emission transportation fuel for a number of years. It’s an ambitious project that’s inspired scientists and engineers in...
