Operational and Technical Director at AlgEnerg Private Limited - New Delhi, Delhi, India
As world population tops seven billion and resources are becoming scarce it becomes more costly to provide water, food and energy in a sustainable way.Our innovation is driven by a unique perspective of Algae as the perfect solar cell. With background in chemistry and photovoltaic research our scientists initiated cutting edge applied research resulting in patented improvements in algae production.Our applications for algae include wastewater treatment, biofuels and high-value products, such as natural astaxanthin and omega-3 nutraceuticals for human consumption. The product market is segmented into the large commodity market like the energy sector, and niche higher value markets that can be easily saturated. Products for a large market with low revenue on individual unit sales include biofuels (biodiesel, green diesel or renewable diesel, ethanol, jet fuel, etc.), and high protein biomass (animal feed). Products for the higher value markets include nutraceuticals (beta-carotene, omega oils, etc), pharmaceuticals, pigments, or other bioproducts. Services fall into current services such as wastewater remediation and future services such as carbon dioxide recycling, mitigation, and sequestration. AlgEnerg patented system enables economic, sustainable and consistent production of photosynthetic, algae at industrial scale. AlgEnerg Solution Microalgae Hold Great Promise for Tackling the Global Need for Sustainability, Better Health, Energy Security, and Climate Stability. Microalgae are, quite simply, the planet's most sustainable source of Omega-3 EPA and DHA nutritional oils, animal feed, and biofuel feedstock. To ensure freedom and security, our country must wean itself from reliance on foreign energy sources Microalgae sequester potentially harmful emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses. Going "green" and producing cost-competitive products are not mutually exclusive.
