Algenie turns an environmental problem into a commercial opportunity through revolutionising algae production at scale
The world needs a viable alternative to making things out of fossil fuel.
We continue to pump more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year by relying on fossil fuels to make our stuff. However, if we can find an economically viable way to manufacture everything from algae instead of fossil fuels, we have a real chance of tackling climate change.
FACT
Every 1kg of algae removes approx 2kg of CO2 from the atmosphere.
“That’s the mission of Algenie – to dramatically reduce the cost of algae production to a level competitive with fossil fuels.”
NICK HAZELL - ALGENIE FOUNDER
Algae is the solution.
The biotech exists, but the economics and scalability have not been solved.
If we don’t find a way to make algae economically and at the volume needed then we won’t be able to realise its true power.
Through cracking the economics and scale problem, Algenie can enable a vast array of algae based products and remove carbon from the atmosphere.

Why Algae
The Algenie technology solves the problem of scaling algae production economically.
Algenie is a pioneer in groundbreaking algae production technology, poised to revolutionise industry and dramatically disrupt our fossil fuel economy, enabling gigatonne removal of carbon from the atmosphere.
Algenie have invented the world's first cost-effective production system for the algae biotech industry. With a revolutionary photobioreactor design and access to AI-driven strain optimisation, Algenie can convert CO2 into valuable raw material for a variety of industries, including plastics, food and biofuels.
Using this technology, we can reduce the cost of algae production to a level competitive with fossil fuels, making algae an economically viable raw material that’s good for the planet.
We are committed to enabling a future where algae powers a sustainable, carbon-positive economy.
Our Technology
FACT
It is estimated there are up to 1 million species of algae globally, but only a few thousand have been studied.

Algenie makes carbon positive products viable
Algenie makes carbon positive products viable
The Algenie technology is set to catalyse algae biotech innovation, with the potential to grow the Algae industry from a $2 billion niche industry to a $100 billion mainstream one.
The current industrial economic system is unsustainable, with much of what is used day to day in modern life resulting in gigatonnes of CO2 entering the atmosphere.
Imagine the impact if we could make all of our things from algae economically, removing gigatonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere. With Algenie, that will be possible!
