The Environment-Friendly Oil

Algae can take many forms, such as seaweed (macro-algae) and kelp. But for oil, we use micro-algae as found in outdoor ponds. Micro-algae is actually a highly efficient biological factory capable of consuming carbon dioxide (CO2), and converting it into a high-density natural oil through photosynthesis.

Much of the world's petroleum is actually made up of algae that decomposed over hundreds of millions of years. But by drilling for, extracting, and burning that oil now, we are releasing the carbon dioxide that was absorbed long ago. This "carbon positive" effect is what causes global warming.

Algae cultivated today absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere or other CO2 emitted sources.  Burning freshly produced algae oil releases only what it absorbed in the first place, resulting in a balanced "carbon neutral" effect. This makes algae oil an environment-friendly oil.

Oil Generation from Algae

Algae reproduce by cellular division. They divide and divide until they fill the space available to them and have consumed all nutrients in it.

In the right environment, fresh algae cells grow and divide exponentially, doubling every few hours, while absorbing all available nutrients, CO2 and light energy.  

OriginOil's industrial process, with its patent pending devices and methods, optimizes this environment to help algae cells grow at their natural maximum rate - achieving a doubling of the algae population in as little as a few hours. The process then goes on to control the harvesting and oil extraction cycles in a high-speed, round-the-clock, streamlined industrial production of algae oil.

Instead of waiting hundreds of millions years for algae to become oil, OriginOil's breakthrough technology and process can transform algae into oil in a matter of days.
