Algenol’s DIRECT TO ETHANOL™ technology can produce ethanol on an industrial scale because it is modular.

1. Algenol has partnered with BioFields in Mexico and will begin producing ethanol in 2009.

2. Algenol’s process is completely modular, therefore scale-up is manageable.

3. BioFields can produce over 1 billion gallons per year as this facility expands over the next few years.

4. Algenol designs and builds it proprietary photobioreactors for its partners. Algenol creates proprietary enclosed and sealed, contained photobioreactors to grow algae in, as well as to capture the ethanol within the photobioreactors.

5. Algenol designs the process to effectively run its system and produce ethanol.

6. Algenol’s Intellectual Property portfolio encompasses molecular and marine biology, process systems, and mechanical and chemical engineering.
