Generating revenue from waste algae
Gen3Bio transforms waste algae into profitable specialty chemicals. Our Pitch Gen3Bio transforms waste algae into profitable specialty chemicals.
How do we do this with algae? We maximize chemical recovery yields from algae via a proprietary enzyme blend that optimizes sugar, fat and protein extraction Over prior technologies we… increase algae product yields 50% reduce capital requirements up to 90% reduce operating expenses up to 50%
The Gen3Bio Difference Gen3Bio does not grow or cultivate algae. The Gen3Bio process uses algae others produce and captures all its cell contents for conversion to specialty chemicals
Our Tangible Progress Base technology proven in the lab at various scales Basic 5 gallon and 15 gallon pilot plant designs completed Interest from: Honda (OH) MWRD of Greater Chicago South Davis SD (UT) Pittsburg, KS Grand Rapids, MI
Initial Target Market There are over 16,000 wastewater treatment facilities in the United States. * = 1,000
municipal wastewater nutrient discharge reduction of Background The EPA is targeting a municipal wastewater nutrient discharge reduction of 95%
Algae is the Solution Wastewater nutrients provide a natural algae food source Therefore, algae use reduces nutrient discharge BUT…what do we do with all of this algae?
$5.5 Million The Challenge with the Solution One large operator will need to dispose of 15 semi-trucks of algae per day, at an annual cost of $5.5 Million *not including operational costs
Turn the Challenge into Cash GEN3BIO enzyme technology converts that waste into products with the $5.5M expense converting into a specialty chemical revenue of $200 MILLION
Where Does Gen3Bio Fit? Clean water Wastewater Algae Tech Algae Slurry Specialty Chemicals
Business Model Own and operate plants at municipal wastewater treatment facilities with % of net product revenue provided back to clients
