BARD, OriginOil partner for algal biofuels "end-to-end solution"

In Pennsylvania, BARD and OriginOil have formed a co-venture for technology development, focusing on BARD’s BA 1000, a patent-pending modular system of Photo BioReactors (PBRs) to cultivate algae at commercial scale, and OriginOil’s harvesting and extraction technology. OriginOil’s breakthrough technology has led it to focus efforts on harvesting and extraction.

“OriginOil’s harvesting and extraction technology coupled with Bard’s commercial algae production complete the end to end solution,” said Riggs Eckelberry, CEO, OriginOil. The two CEOs formalized the agreement last week while both were invited speakers at the European Algae Biomass Conference 2011, held in London, UK.
