TransAlgae's Mission:

TransAlgae was founded in 2008 to commercialize bio technologies based on development and breeding of transgenic algae for the purpose of its cost-effective conversion into oil, protein and other co-products.

In TransAlgae we believe that genetically modified algae provide the best, near-term, sustainable solution to fossil fuel dependency while also supplying a long term solution to the world’s need for animal feed. Algae’s ability to fix large amounts of carbon dioxide into biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, protein and oil, will enable emitters to turn a cost into revenues.

TransAlgae's mission is to build the framework for algal biofuel and animal feed, using genetic engineering combined with practical agricultural, industrial and economic approaches. The company's scientific team has completed its first generation of transgenic algae and a field research site has been established at a 400MW natural gas power station. In addition to higher productivity, the genetic approach enables rapid increases, multiple high-quality products, bio-safety meachnisms and contamination resistance.

TransAlgae’s business model enables export of turn-key production systems that utilize our algal strains, generating both immediate sales capital as well as a steady stream of product-based revenues shared with business partners worldwide. The vast markets for oil and feed, coupled with the system’s competitive pricing will enable Transalgae and its business partners to scale production rapidly with minimal capital needs.

TransAlgae is a registered USA company, with a research center located at the Weizmann Science Park in Rehovot, Israel and a business development office in Gates Mills, Ohio.
