Algae biotech

A key limitation of current carbon capture and utilization technologies is that they incur significant capital and operating costs, but produce no revenue to offset these costs. Helios-NRG is developing a novel, algae based technology to utilize CO2 and generate value added products to significantly lower the cost of CO2 capture. 

Dewatering of algae for downstream processing is currently a significant bottleneck in commercialization. Helios-NRG is hence developing a novel dewatering process to enable step change reduction in cost and energy and permit high water and nutrient recycle.

Initiatives:

• Algae Culture and Photobioreactor Design
• Harvesting and Dewatering
• Products – biofuels, feed and nutraceuticals
• Carbon Capture
• Wastewater Remediation

Outcomes:

• Increases CO2 capture efficiency
• Enables higher productivity
• Greatly reduces water consumption
• Reduces operational cost
• Generates valuable algae based products
