Genifuel Gasifies Algae to Get Natural Gas

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

Genifuel wants to turn the pond scum into natural gas. The company is using catalytic hydrothermal gasification to create natural gas out of algae in a quick and efficient manner. It has obtained license from Pacific Northwest National Labs for its technology.

Genifuel claims that its gasification process has advantages over processes used by companies that turn algae into liquid fuels. Algae fuel producers have to separate water from algae to make fuel, Genifuel's process allows algae to go in wet.
