Dilemma #1:
Lipid content comes at the expense of growth.
Photon8 Solution:
Genetically enhance an alga to produce lipids preferentially
Dilemma #2:
Closed systems offer superior control and efficiency, at a high cost. Open systems offer lower cost, yet suffer lower production efficiency, evaporation, CO2 loss, control issues, environmental exposure.
Photon8 Solution:
At < $10/m2, Photon8’s Parallel Film Reactor (PFRsm), (patent pending) with ‘Traveling Wave Technology’ (patent pending) offers closed-system performance at lesser cost than an open system, and makes full use of injected CO2.
Dilemma #3:
Conventional extraction costs are high and invoke harsh chemicals
Photon8 Solution:
Remove lipids from biomass with Aqueous Extraction.
