Awake at the Wheel

Large scale algae growth, the grail of advanced biodiesel feedstock production, has a universal challenge. As algae grow, they become so dense they block the light needed for continued growth. And Redmond, WA based Bionavitas  recently announced they have a solution. They call it Light Immersion Technology™ or LIT. A scientific breakthrough that dramatically increases algae yields in a cost-efficient and scalable model. Their technology fundamentally changes the equation by enabling the alga growth layer in open ponds to be up to a meter deep. This represents a 10 to 12 time increase in yield over previous methods that produced only 3-5 centimeters of growth. Learn about Bionavitas.
