About Algae.Tec www.algaetec.com.au
Algae.Tec Ltd, founded in 2007, is an Australian advanced
renewable oil from algae company that has developed a high-yield
enclosed algae growth and harvesting system, the McConchie-Stroud
System. The Company has offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Perth, Western
Australia.
The Algae.Tec enclosed modular engineered technology is designed
to grow non-GMO algae on an industrial scale, and produce biofuels
that replace predominantly imported fossil fuels.
The technology has demonstrated exceptional performance in
productivity, product yield, carbon dioxide sequestration, and
production unit footprint requirements versus agricultural crops
and other competitive algae processes in the industry.
Algae.Tec offers a profitable solution for carbon emitting
companies and industries seeking carbon dioxide reduction
technologies. The algae growth system is an alternative to Carbon
Capture and Storage (CCS).
The Algae.Tec solution is less than one tenth the land footprint
of pond growth options, while its enclosed module system is
designed to deliver the highest yield of algae per hectare, and
solves the problem of food-producing land being turned over for
biofuel production.
