Genifuel Corporation was formed in 2006 to produce renewable energy by the most efficient, lowest cost, and most scalable means possible. We performed extensive evaluations on a wide range of technologies against these criteria. In the end we concluded that biological capture of solar energy offered great promise, and that catalytic wet gasification of the entire biomass was the least expensive way to produce biofuel. 

Genifuel's renewable natural gas is immediately usable with existing machinery and infrastructure.  With our process, feedstock can be collected as required, or stored temporarily, to produce energy on demand.  This allows production of peak energy and production of energy when the sun is not shining.

We have successfully produced renewable natural gas through the entire cycle of growth, harvesting, biomass preparation, gasification, and gas recovery.  These processes have been completed at several scales, from laboratory benchtop through small pilot production with outdoor growth.  We are now scaling up to a larger outdoor facility, compressing the gas for use as an ultra-clean motor fuel.

Genifuel Corporation has established a subsidiary company named Genifarm Corporation, to develop and license the technology for growth of aquatic feedstocks.  Growers using these methods can sell feedstock either to Genifuel or to others who have licensed Genifuel gasifier technology.

Genifuel is a member of the following organizations related to our work:  Phycological Society of America; Algal Biomass Organization; National Algae Association, International DME Association.
