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,...
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...
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...
South by Southwest is one of the world’s largest creative gatherings, widely known for its celebration of breakthroughs in technology, film, music, and interactive media. This year’s conference also featured...
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...
