Notes de l'éditeur
- Superior Ecotech’s mission is to develop algae growth technologies that enable cost effective production of algae biofuels. Superior Ecotech’s algae technology overcomes industry inefficiencies to produce lower cost, higher quality algae oils from waste CO2 sources. We will initially sell bulk omega 3 oils to key customers who want sustainably-sourced high quality vegan omega 3 oils.
- Problem: Algae is great but it is too expensive Solution: Superior Ecotech applies industrial ecology and breakthrough technology to make algae a more competitive feedstock Build own and operate algae greenhouses, Process algae on site, Sell omega-3 oils in bulk to key accounts
