Why algae?  Because algae (including blue-green algae) are the most efficient photosynthetic organisms on earth.  By capturing energy from the sun, algae can grow 10 to 100 times faster than most terrestrial plants.  And they do this while removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and without using premium agricultural land and water.  

We know algae are successful at producing energy, because most of our fossil fuels were produced by algae.  These organisms captured solar energy and then decayed over millions of years, producing huge reservoirs of hydrocarbons which we now extract and use.  

For many reasons, our challenge now is to capture solar energy in usable forms on a current basis rather than to rely so heavily on energy captured and stored in the past.  Genifuel has developed unique technology to meet this challenge by producing energy from algae in an economical and highly scalable way, while using existing infrastructure for distribution of the energy produced.
