Engineering algae to produce carbon-neutral biofuels at scale

Phycobloom is an industrial biotechnology company developing genetically engineered algae strains capable of continuously secreting oil for use in sustainable aviation fuel and plastics.

Using synthetic biology and gene editing, the company has engineered algae to capture atmospheric CO2 while producing oil without the conventional harvesting steps that add cost and carbon burden.

Its process is designed to reduce production costs substantially compared to existing algae biofuel approaches, targeting the aviation and marine sectors.
