The company licenses an innovative commercial micro-crop technology that enables the large-scale production of green fuels as well as a high-value protein co-product. The company's fuels are functionally identical to petroleum-based fuels and therefore use the existing industry infrastructure. PetroAlgae’s proprietary technology is 1) clean, 2) economically viable, 3) scalable, 4) resource efficient, and 5) ready for commercialization today. Our micro-crops consume more than twice their weight in CO² and produce yields up to 25x to 100x more productive than macro-crop (soy, corn, soy, jatropha, etc.) biofuel feedstocks.  (Less)

Tickell and a surprising array of environmentalists, policy makers, and entertainment notables take us through America’s complicated, often ignominious energy past and illuminate a hopeful, achievable future, where decentralized, sustainable living is not only possible, it’s imperative. (Less)
