The energy we produce is clean, safe, and economical.  The use of biologically-produced natural gas causes no net increase in greenhouse gases.  We believe it is also the cheapest biofuel which can be made today.

The Genifuel process starts with photosynthetic micro-organisms (such as algae) growing in shallow water, selected to achieve maximum growth under a wide variety of conditions.  The biomass is harvested and then gasified in a highly efficient catalytic hydrothermal gasifier which achieves nearly instantaneous conversion of more than 99% of the organic content of the wet biomass.  Our technology is based on patents (pending) which we have developed, as well as on an exclusive US license for the gasifier using our aquatic biomass as the feedstock.  The gasifier was developed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, part of the US Department of Energy.

Since Genifuel's renewable natural gas is essentially the same as fossil natural gas, it can be used either by injecting it into existing natural gas pipelines, or by burning it onsite to generate renewable electricity.  We are also doing research to convert our renewable natural gas into a superior, extremely clean fuel for diesel engines, as described in the Technology section.
