Viridos develops sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through bioengineered algae, boosting low-carbon air travel. Its team of expert scientists have harnessed precision gene editing to elevate oil productivity in proprietary algal strains, growing in saltwater ponds on marginal land and therefore, not competing with farming and freshwater resources. This innovative approach ensures harmony with agriculture, preserving vital resources. At its California Advanced Algae Facility, Viridos deploys outdoor deployable strains, reducing the risk of crop predation and crop failure observed in prior algae cultivation. With productivities surpassing 30-fold that of terrestrial crops, Viridos’ algae oil serves as a drop-in feedstock for bio-refining.
