PHYCO2 completes test pilots of Algae Growth, CO2 Sequestration at Michigan State
In Michigan, PHYCO2 completed a year of testing an industry-disrupting and patented Algae Photo-Bioreactor (APB), and is now building two advisory boards to focus on the commercialization of technologies for human nutrition and animal feed.
PHYCO2’s new technology allows pure microalgae to grow indoors 24 hours a day, and without sunlight, in any geographic location, and at any time of the year. Unlike ponds and other open water systems, the PHYCO2 photo bioreactor system eliminates possible contamination from outside sources. Discovering the specific amount of time that algae needs to be exposed to light, as well as the time needed to rest in order to properly cultivate, PHYCO2 developed a system that is market sustainable and efficient.
PHYCO2’s APB has shown the ability to develop pure microalgae that can be used for a multitude of everyday products worldwide, ranging from lipstick to ice cream, to biofuel and animal feed, while capturing CO2 emissions.
“After seeing the success in our algae photo-bioreactor at the Michigan State University power plant this past year, we are now ready to enter into this emerging market at full speed, and we are looking for board members who come with not only a vast knowledge of these markets and their products, but insight on the technology that’s creating the algae itself,” said William Clary, President and CEO of PHYCO2.
