Generating revenue from waste algae
2
Gen3Bio transforms waste algae into profitable specialty chemicals.
Our Pitch Gen3Bio transforms waste algae into profitable specialty chemicals.
3
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%
4
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
5
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
6
Initial Target Market There are over 16,000 wastewater treatment facilities in the United States. * = 1,000
7
municipal wastewater nutrient discharge reduction of
Background The EPA is targeting a municipal wastewater nutrient discharge reduction of 95%
8
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?
9
$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
10
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
11
Where Does Gen3Bio Fit? Clean water Wastewater Algae Tech Algae Slurry
Specialty Chemicals
12
Business Model Own and operate plants at
municipal wastewater treatment facilities with % of net product revenue provided back to clients
13
Many other wastewater generating industries
Our Scalable Future Many other wastewater generating industries Livestock Saw Mills Oil & Gas Mining
