At BioVantage, we like to think of algae as The New Natural ResourceTM. Not only do algae represent a next generation feedstock for the emerging biofuels market, but they also support multiple industries - from biormediation on through animal and human supplements and ingredients.
Algae produced by BioVantage systems offer the numerous benefits including:
- Algae are high in protein, have all essential amino acids, contain antioxidants and LCPUFAs (long chain polyunsaturate fatty acids such as Omega-3 and Omega-6). Loosely interpreted, this means they can provide incredibly healthy ingredients for animal and human consumption.
- Algae require little land, water, and fertilizer (i.e., algae are environmentally friendly).
- Algae consume upwards of two kilograms of CO2 for every kilogram of algae produced - countering greenhouse gas emissions.
- Algae are the biggest producer of oxygen on our planet. Although we often give our forests the designation "the lungs of our earth", the reality is that algae fulfill this essential role.
- Algae, in BioVantage systems grow 24/7, year round (as opposed to seasonally) providing a consistent quantity and quality of feedstock.
- Algae produce 30-100x the amount of lipid oil as other oil seed crops, making them the crop of choice for future biofuel feedstock.
If you believe that any of these attributes of algae are relevant to you business, feel free to give us a call to discuss your requirements.
